Journal of Historic Buildings and Places, 2024 Stephen Croad Prize (Deadline 2 August 2024)

Do you have a new discovery on historical buildings of England and Wales?

Stephen Croad was an author, researcher, and archivist of architectural history. During his career and in his voluntary roles, he made a profound impact on our knowledge and understanding of the UK’s architectural history.

In Stephen’s memory, Historic Buildings & Places now run an annual competition, with a prize award of £500, to encourage new architectural research and writing.

In the spirit of Stephen’s own research and practice, the essay should be on factually verifiable, documented new discoveries on the historic buildings of England and Wales, whether less examined or part of the established canon.

The award winner will be presented with a certificate at the Historic Buildings & Places’ Annual Lecture, usually held in December. We ask that the winner attend the Annual Lecture to give a brief talk about their essay and to receive the certificate.

The deadline for submission is 2 August 2024.

There is no age limit for contributors, and we welcome all contributions. Submissions should include the author’s full name and contact details, and be sent to: editor@hbap.org.uk with the subject heading Stephen Croad Prize 2024.
