Ancient Monuments Act of 1882
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1882 the Ancient Monuments Protection Act recognising the need for a governmental administration on the protection of Ancient monuments finally passed, after a number of failed attempts on heritage protection acts. The gradual change towards a state based authority, responsible for the safeguarding of the Kingdoms national heritage manifested itself through the appointment of the first Inspector of Ancient Monuments in 1893, General Pitt-Rivers.
