Nominations are invited for the The Duke of Gloucester Gold Medal for outstanding achievement in the craft of stonemasonry and the natural stone industry.
The Medal was introduced in 2010 by the Masons Livery Company and Stone Federation Great Britain. It is awarded periodically to honour and recognise an individual in the craft of stonemasonry or the natural stone industry whose lifetime achievements are of considerable merit and the excellence of their contribution is acknowledged by their peers.
Previous recipients have included industry stalwarts John Bysouth and Peter Harrison.
The Duke of Gloucester Gold Medal Nominations Committee is now seeking nominations for someone who deserves the medal in 2022; someone who has made a notable difference to the craft or the industry, whether as a mason, architect, surveyor, designer, employer, manager or trainer.
