Historic England Angel Awards now open for nominations


Since 2011, the Historic England Angel Awards have recognised the efforts of local people and groups who go to great lengths to preserve their heritage.

The 2017 Angel Awards are now open for applications. You can apply for yourself, or you can nominate another person or group.

There are four award categories to apply for in 2017:
• Best rescue of a historic building
• Best contribution to a heritage project by young people
• Best craftsmanship or apprentice on a heritage rescue or repair project
• Best rescue, recording or interpretation of a historic place

Read about the full award criteria and eligibility here.

The shortlist, as chosen by a panel of experts, will be named in the summer and the winners will be announced during a glittering prize ceremony that will take place in the autumn.

The best of luck with your nominations.
