Das New Art Centre wurde 1958 in der Sloane Street in London gegründet. 1994 wurde es dann im Roche Court in Wiltshire fortgeführt. Das Haus und die Orangerie stammen aus dem Jahre 1804. Zusammen mit den Anlagen wird Roche Court nun als Skulpturenpark und Bildungszentrum genutzt. 2005 wurde eine Stiftung gegründet, die aus dem Bildungsprogramm heraus entstand. Die Stiftung ist das Ergebnis des wachsenden Bedarfs der Bevölkerung, zeitgenössische Skulptur aus erster Hand zu erfahren. Internationale Künstler arbeiten mit Lehrern und Studenten  zusammen, um Menschen jeden Alters die Skulpturen im Roche Court als Teil des kulturellen Erbes zu erklären.

Together with the grounds, Roche Court is now used as a sculpture park and educational center. 2005 a foundation was established, which grew out of the education program. The Foundation is the result of the growing needs of the population to learn about contemporary sculpture first-hand. International artists collaborate with teachers and students to explain to people of any age the sculptures in the Roche Court as part of cultural heritage.
