Winners ranged from the restoration of a 16th-century listed building in Parkminster to the new Language and Resource Centre (LARC) at Christ’s Hospital School in Horsham. Judges noted the LARC was an ‘excellent facility with a striking presence’.

Dr John Godfrey, Sussex Heritage Trust chairman, said: “These awards really are about excellence and high quality.

“Buildings and gardens have to be the very best to win a hand-crafted slate plaque, designed for display on or at the winning site.”
