The Frances Garnham Award
Our annual award for innovative approaches to educational or community engagement
Each year, the Historic Houses Learning Advisory Panel presents the Frances Garnham Award to a house or garden that’s demonstrated a particularly innovative approach to education or community engagement work.
The Award, now in its fifth year, commemorates the life and achievements of Frances Garnham, who worked as Director of Policy and Campaigns at Historic Houses until early 2015. Frances was passionate about helping our places to develop exciting and innovative educational projects.
