SPAB Heritage Awards are re-launching in 2022

The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB) believes old buildings have a future. From cottages to castles and from churches to cathedrals they are here to help buildings and the people who care for them.  They champion excellence in built heritage across the UK and Ireland, bringing established SPAB awards together with fresh new ones, and waving the flag for all the gifted craftspeople, dedicated custodians and environmentally conscious practitioners that work tirelessly to ensure that our astonishing built heritage has a bright future.

The 2022 will see an increase in awards from two to five.  As well as the Philip Webb and John Betjeman awards, the new award categories are ‘Best Loved’, Sustainable Heritage’ and ‘Building Craftsperson of the Year’.  Details and entry information can be found here.

Without this type of recognition and support so many of our industrial heritage buildings would be lost, so let’s hope the awards continue.
