The SPAB Heritage Awards welcome entrants from across the UK and Ireland

New awards will join our exisiting ones in a celebration of old buildings and the people who champion them.

Our annual award for the person who best embodied the working party spirit – a warm mixture of generosity, dedication and enthusiasm. This year it was awarded to John Russell, a carpenter based in East Sussex.

We could not be more thrilled by the news that the SPAB's Old House project has been shortlisted for the Museum+Heritage Awards Restoration or Conservation Project of the Year. 

In anticipation of a talk in March on their collaboration, we looked to our archives to explore John Piper’s involvement in the establishment of our Betjeman Award over 30 years ago, to honour his friend’s love of ancient churches.

Stonemason Tom Flemons received the award for his outstanding personal contribution both to traditional building skills and support of the SPAB Fellowship.
