AMS Stephen Croad Essay Prize 2020_Deadline: Monday, June 29, 2020

Posted on by Mirna Pedalo

The Ancient Monuments Society (AMS) is pleased to announce that submissions are now invited for the 2020 Stephen Croad Essay Prize.

The Prize was established last year in honour of Stephen Croad, former Head of the National Buildings Record and a great supporter of the AMS. It is intended to encourage and reward factually verifiable, documented new discoveries on the historic buildings of England and Wales, whether part of the established canon or hitherto less examined.

Full details can be found here.

In 2019 the Prize was awarded to James Sims for his outstanding essay Lost in Time: John Outram’s warehousing at Poyle, which has been published in the AMS’s 2019 Transactions.
