Oxford Preservation Trust
Awards 2020
Introduction
judging Panel 2020
A huge thank you to the expert OPT Awards Judging Panel, who enjoyed
Oxford Preservation Trust 2020 visiting all the projects submitted before engaging in an interesting and
lively debate to reach their decisions at the panel meeting.
OPT was established nearly a century ago and the OPT Awards are themselves
almost 50 years old. But, in all that time, we have never seen anything like 2020. Rev Prof William Whyte, Professor of Social and Architectural History
The impact of the pandemic could be felt in our socially distanced judging. It can be at St John’s College, Chair of the Faculty of History
traced in our postponed awards ceremony. It is, of course, present in the fact we’re and Chairman of OPT
meeting virtually. Everything, in a sense, is different. Dr Geoffrey Tyack, Architectural Historian and OPT Trustee
But however different the form of the Awards may seem, its function remains the Mrs Liz Woolley, Local Historian and Author
same. OPT was established to preserve the best of the old, to encourage the best
Mr John Stevenson, Architect and former Oxford Brookes University Lecturer
of the new, and to educate people about the city of Oxford and its surroundings.
Our Awards are an important part of this, as we seek to recognize the finest new Prof Elizabeth McKellar, Architectural Historian and Author
buildings and the most exemplary efforts to preserve older structures. This year, Mrs Carole Souter, Master of St Cross College and OPT Trustee
with the new Green Award, we also celebrate those projects which demonstrate

excellent work towards sustainability.
It has been a delight to see so many entries this year. Despite the difficulties Mrs Georgina Hamshaw, MSc Historic Conservation student at Oxford Brookes
posed in 2020, there have been a great many projects working hard to help bring Mrs Debbie Dance, Director of OPT
Oxford to life. In this, the 43rd year of the OPT Awards, we considered forty-five
competitors, eventually awarding eight plaques and fifteen certificates to a striking
variety of projects.
None of this would have been possible without the support of our sponsors, Carter
Jonas, Critchleys and Mathews Comfort. I am immensely grateful to them, to the
OPT team, and to all those whose hard work and creativity is celebrated here.
The Rev Prof William Whyte
Chairman of the Awards Panel
