Celia Richardson is the Director of Communications for the National Trust. For the past six years, she’s been responsible for the Trust’s brand and marketing, policy, advocacy and reputation. Previously, she’s worked for the Historic England, the Refugee Council and several mental health charities.
The blue plaque she chose is at 2 Garbutt Place, Marylebone, London W1U 4DS. It reads: Octavia Hill, 1838-1912, Housing Reformer, Co-founder of The National Trust began her work here. We spoke about Hill's friendship with John Ruskin, the impact her work continues to have on the lives of Londoners today and how the work of the National Trust has become more politicised.
