    REWARDING RESTORATION

    Do you know of a recently-restored Nottinghamshire building in your area which exemplifies enlightened restoration, or a new building which enhances its surroundings?

    Entries are now invited for the increasingly popular and prestigious HARRY JOHNSON AWARD 2018 - run every alternate year jointly by the Nottinghamshire Building Preservation Trust and the Nottingham Branch of the Campaign to Protect Rural England, both energetic guardians of Nottinghamshire's heritage.

    Projects should have been completed within three years prior to the application deadline of 30th June 2018. The support of the building owners is, of course, essential for the provision of detailed information and co-operation with the judges to arrange a visit.

    Previous award-winners have ranged from centuries-old to post-Victorian, and favour domestic buildings from tiny terraced cottages to country houses, almost-derelict farm and canal-side buildings rescued and converted for alternative use, and include a number of new homes sensitively built in conservation areas. All exhibited a love of the building, an appreciation of its history and consideration for its place in the environment.

    Architect Harry Johnson, who died in 1988, was an outstanding advocate for Nottinghamshire's historic vernacular architecture - the Award was instigated in his memory to encourage sensitive restoration or new building which blends sympathetically into an existing area of heritage value.

    A nomination form is available from the Nottinghamshire Building Preservation Trust, Minster Chambers, Church Street, Southwell NH25 0HD and via e-mail nbpt@ntclick.com. A modest entry fee of £25 is required to cover the costs of administration and the Award certificates. Judging is scheduled for July / August 2018.
