English Heritage and Andrew Lloyd Webber presented their 2014 Angel Awards at the Palace Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue, London, on Monday evening (3 November). The Awards recognise the contribution made to saving the built heritage of the country by groups all around the country. You can read more about the winning projects at www.english-heritage.org.uk/caring/angel-awards/winners-2014.

A lot of the projects included natural stone, just as a lot of conservation projects in general do. You can read about the contribution of stone and the stonemasons who provided it to the Angel Award winning and short-listed projects in the December issue of Natural Stone Specialist magazine.
