AWARDS 2019

design for the

future, respect for the past

I regularly report that the Awards scheme continues to grow from strength to strength, but you really have excelled yourselves this year! In 2018, we had a record 74 entries, but this year the total has gone up to no less than 98, clearly underlining the regard and prestige which the Awards scheme now commands, across the whole of Sussex, including Brighton & Hove, and much further afield.

The continuing, and indeed, escalating success of the Awards scheme would not be possible without the support of our sponsors, some of whom have been with us for over 10 years, and the corps of judges, who work tirelessly over two days, entirely voluntarily. Due to the number of entries this year, we had 34 judges across 11 teams and we are very grateful for their feedback and support.

Vice Lord-Lieutenant of West Sussex, Harry Goring and Dr John Godfrey at launch of the 2019 Awards sponsored by Thesis Asset Management

We launched this year’s Awards scheme at the Weald & Downland Living Museum at Singleton, near Chichester, whose Gateway building won an Award in 2018. The new building, designed by ABIR Architects of Hove, provides a 850 sq./m. gateway facility comprising entry, galleries, cafe and community spaces. The project is an excellent example of the Awards’ aim and ambition to represent the highest quality new buildings, conservation and rejuvenation projects across Sussex.

The response to the launch was magnificent, resulting in the record number of entries received this year and their high quality. Our judges had difficult decisions to make in reaching their conclusions on which projects were to receive Awards and which justified Highly Commended status. Our judges visit all entries and only those, identified from among a very strong field, that they consider best meet our judging criteria, are selected for the coveted Awards and Highly Commended certificates.

Following our successful visits for Friends and supporters in 2018 to Glynde Place and the House of Lords, we very much enjoyed our visit to the garden of Clinton Lodge, Fletching, in June at the invitation of Lady Collum. In October, we shall be holding our biennial dinner at Firle Place at the invitation of Lord and Lady Gage. Dr Anna Keay OBE, director of The Landmark Trust and a leading figure in the building conservation movement nationally, has agreed to be our guest speaker and I am very much looking forward to hearing what she has to say. Details of, and tickets for, this important fund-raising event are available from Helen Reeve, our administrator, who will be pleased to help you.

It also gives me great pleasure to announce that The Ernest Kleinwort Charitable Trust has extended their support to fund the Bursary Scheme.

The fully funded bursaries are available to young people based in Sussex who are or hope to be in the construction industry. In conjunction with the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum, students are welcome to apply for their Building Conservation courses. The bursary is now open for applicants.

I would like to thank Nicky Currie and her team at Pangdean Old Barn for looking after us so well today; Simon Knight, the indefatigable chair of the Awards Committee; and our dedicated administrative team of Helen Reeve and Katya Smith, without whose skill, industry and dedication this event would not take place. Finally, good luck to all our entrants!

Dr John Godfrey DL Chairman

SUSSEX HERITAGE PERSON OF THE YEAR 2018 SPONSORED BY HARVEY’S BREWERY

The recognition of one person’s outstanding commitment to the heritage of Sussex.

Neil Holland - Architect and Artist The winner of the Sussex Heritage Person of the Year Award 2018 was Neil Holland, recognising his extraordinary contribution to architecture in the county.

His work includes the early 1970s commission to design the reception building for Sir Peter Scott’s Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust in Arundel, followed by numerous award winning residential and other projects across Sussex.

Neil is also a successful and renowned artist, painting landscapes of the South East of England and focusing on his home country of Sussex. His paintings and architectural drawings have been exhibited at the Mall Galleries, London and the Royal Academy.

On presenting the Award to Neil at last year’s ceremony, Dr John Godfrey said “in his painting, as well as his architecture, Neil celebrates the English landscape and the harmonious relationship between landscape and man’s use of it, especially in building design. It is for this reason, and for his outstanding contribution to the architectural landscape of Sussex over so many years, that Neil is awarded the Sussex Heritage Person of the Year 2018.”

The winner of the 2019 Sussex Heritage Person of the Year Award will be announced at the awards presentation on Wednesday 3rd July at Pangdean Old Barn, Pyecombe.
