2018 Awards

At the 2018 AGM, we celebrrated the commitment, skill and dedication of many people to keep Stamford looking good – as befits the first Conservation Area. We value the contributions of impressive craftsmen, the determination of owners and architects to create notable buildings, the attractive displays and fittings that shop owners produce within the constraints of caring for old buildings and the beautiful green spaces made possible by the many volunteers who spend time and effort on planting and maintaining these areas. 

Every two or three years the Society asks its members to suggest developments and refurbishments in the town that should be noted and celebrated. This has been an outstanding year and our winners are as wide-ranging as ever.

The photographs show the award recipients with Orlando Rock, President and Gwyneth Gibbs, Chairman. ​Click any picture for a larger version.
