We're pleased to start 2025 with the launch of our strategy for the next five years. Our team has worked hard to bring our Founder's vision into the twenty first century.
To reinforce SPAB’s role as the expert source of advice and skills development for people who care for our built heritage, ensuring old buildings are better managed and valued as an integral part of a low-carbon future.
Our Scholarship and Fellowship schemes are designed to broaden the skills and experience of conservation professionals working with old buildings, and we're delighted to announce the new cohort for 2025.

It is with sadness that we share the news of the sudden death of John Sell, CBE.
Those who remember John will recall his warmth, humour and dedication to the SPAB. John served twice as a SPAB Chair and was a dedicated member of many of our committees. He was an influential figure in the SPAB’s groundbreaking barns campaign in the 1980s and led many other SPAB initiatives. Particularly special to him was our Philip Webb Award which he championed and supported from its beginning.
