Best Maintenance of a Historic Building or Place

Best Maintenance of a Historic Building or Place:

This award recognises volunteers, professionals, individuals and groups who have maintained a historic building, place, landscape or site. This awards does not recognise dramatic restoration projects, rather the hard work, day-to-day commitment to prevent buildings or places falling into disrepair.

The type of building or place does not matter as long as it is historic – that is, over 30 years old. Ideally we ask that the building or place appears on a recognised heritage register. The building or place does not have to be listed or scheduled; it could be part of a conservation area or a local building of significant interest. This award will also recognise archaeological sites, projects involving parks and gardens. It may recognise buildings removed from the Heritage at Risk register, though prior inclusion on the register is not essential. All sizes and types of rescue project are eligible, as long as the maintenance has been ongoing for at least 5 years.
