to David Lovie was a fitting tribute to a wonderful man who made an exceptional contribution to heritage and community engagement, locally and nationally, over very many years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;As many of you will know, David, who also served as President of the IHBC, passed away recently and there is inevitably some regret and poignancy in the fact that he did not live to collect the award and thereby hear first-hand of the regard and respect in which he was held by so many.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;David\u2019s nomination stood out in a very strong field of candidates all making a remarkable difference within their community.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;On a perhaps lighter note, I am pleased to announce the award of the Marsh Award 2020 for \u2018Successful Learning in Heritage Skills&#8217; to Paula Baron who\u2019s commitment to a wide-ranging understanding of conservation skills stood out in, again, a strong field.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em><span style=\"color: #800080;\">&#8216;If you know of someone making such a contribution then I urge you to put them forward for consideration for next years awards&#8217;<\/span><\/em>.<\/h2>\n<p>&#8216;In fact, we were inspired to make a further award as \u2018Highly Commended\u2019 to Andy Barrow for his pioneering and thorough research into scagliola.<\/p>\n<p>It was a huge pleasure to read the nominations for both categories of the Marsh Awards and to learn of the huge and continuing efforts being made by so many to making the nations heritage richer and better understood.<\/p>\n<p>If you know of someone making such a contribution then I urge you to put them forward for consideration for next years awards.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>It is hoped that the awards can be formally made in London on 3 December, depending on circumstances linked to the pandemic.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\">&#8230;&#8217;awarding of the Marsh Award 2020 for &#8216;Community Contribution&#8217;

Paula is a great ambassador for the trust and demonstrates perfectly how an academic love of history can be put into practice, working on structures that are over two hundred years old, always with the greatest level respect and care. I have personally watched her grow in confidence and in skill, always pushing for the correct materials to be used and educating even the people she works with on the benefits of using lime mortar. She commits herself to preserving our heritage and educating others about its importance.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The judges saw her commitment and passion to learning shine through, noting how her general area of learning reflects core principles of the IHBC\u2019s approach of cultivating a wider understanding and appreciation of conservation work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Successful Learning in Heritage Skills: Highly Commended:<\/strong> Andy Barrow, Building Crafts College and CBRE, \u00a3250 award and certificate<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Andy enrolled onto the Foundation Degree (FdSc) at the Building Crafts College (BCC) in Historic Building Conservation in 2017.\u00a0 As part of his FdSc Andy completed a project to research and make up panels of scagliola so that he could better understand and conserve this particular material, examples of which are to be found on the estates for which CBRE, and Andy, are responsible.\u00a0 Andy completed his research completely independently and submitted three (3) scagliola panels and three (3) scagliola samples along with his written report.\u00a0 His report is an exemplar of practical research undertaken independently with practical application completed during the 2nd year of an undergraduate programme.\u2019<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em><span style=\"color: #800080;\">\u00a0\u2018Highly Commended\u2019 to Andy Barrow for his pioneering and thorough research into scagliola<\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n<p>The judges were impressed by Andy\u2019s ability to locate a significant gap in knowledge in a conservation topic (scagliola), and to dig in through targeted learning to help fill the gap.<\/p>\n<p>It is planned for all winners, or their chosen representative, to be on hand on the day of the IHBC Council+ and AGM, on 3 December in London, to receive their awards, pending potential restrictions in light of the current circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>For more on the IHBC Marsh Awards for Community Contribution (Retired Member) and Successful Learning in Heritage Skills see the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ihbc.org.uk\/marshawards\/\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Judges in the fifth year of the IHBC Marsh Awards \u2013 for Successful Learning in Heritage Skills and Community Contribution (Retired Member) \u2013 are delighted to announce the 2020 IHBC Marsh Awards, including certificates and cash awards up to \u00a3500, &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/?p=27432\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-27432","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ihbc-newsblog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27432","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=27432"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27432\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":27611,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27432\/revisions\/27611"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=27432"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=27432"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newsblogs.ihbc.org.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=27432"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
