North Pennines – The Pendlebury Award

The Pendlebury Award is named after Bob Pendlebury OBE, a man who not only loved exploring the wilds of the North Pennines but one who also worked tirelessly to look after and promote its unique and stunning landscape.

The award will go to somebody who has made a significant contribution to looking after and protecting the area’s natural beauty, from its flora and fauna through to its geology and heritage. Or to someone who acts as a champion for the North Pennines, to either their local community or to visitors.

Giles Worsley, the distinguished architectural historian and critic, died of cancer in 2006 at the age of 44. He was an enthusiastic visitor to Italy and a great believer in the importance of Italian architecture of all periods in understanding the development of Western architecture. He was concerned that architecture schools do not give adequate emphasis to the teaching of architectural history and that architectural historians should be encouraged to experience the reality of influential Italian buildings.

The Historic Gardens Foundation Prizes

The HGF decided to award this prize in order to celebrate the guidebook in all its forms, recognising that to enjoy a historic park or garden to the full, the visitor needs to know not only the whereabouts of the toilets and tearoom, but also the garden’s history and the significance of its design. We wanted something that could be informative but also that could be held in the hand and read with easy enjoyment.
