Hope to see you there!

Highly Commended in our was this photo of Walsingham Abbey, Norfolk by David Edelston.

The judges appreciated the framing of the ruin, the similarities in form of the two elements within the photo and the textures across the image.

Thanks again to everyone who entered!

Highly Commended in our was this photo of Winterbourne Medieval Barn by Philip Waddy.

The judges commented on its composition, and the lighting which highlights many areas of interest in the image.

Thanks to everyone who entered, the standard was incredibly high! We'll be posting the other Highly Commended image tomorrow... watch this space.

It's and (because we're excitedly planning this years 25th Anniversary Conference at Rochdale Town Hall) we thought we'd share a picture from last years conference at Headstone Manor.

Speakers & activities to be announced

The Conference will be held at Rochdale Town Hall, a Grade I listed building designed by William Crossland, which opened in 1871 to symbolise the town’s rich industrial standing in the textile trade. Historic England says its ornate interiors are rivalled only by the Palace of Westminster. A multi-million-pound restoration to transform the building began in 2021, and the third phase will be continuing on the west side at the time of the conference.

We will use The Great Hall, adorned with stained glass representations of England’s monarchs, from William the Conqueror to Victoria and Albert. The vaulted space of The Great Hall is truly magnificent and a sight to see, the decorative ceiling panels having recently been restored.
