THE CLEARY FUND: BUILDING RESTORATION GRANTS

Through the F. E. Cleary Heritage Fund (commonly known as The Cleary Fund), The Georgian Group gives small grants each year towards the repair and restoration of Georgian buildings and monuments in the United Kingdom. This adds a highly practical and positive dimension to the Group’s conservation work; in many instances, even though the amount of money given is small in absolute terms, the grant makes a major difference to the viability of a restoration scheme. The intention is to pump-prime schemes, prompt other sources to make grants and to fund specific elements in larger schemes.

Around five grants, averaging about £1500 each, are given annually. Grants are usually made towards the conservation of buildings in public ownership or to which there is public access, although they may occasionally be given towards other projects such as the recording of threatened buildings.


THE GEORGIAN GROUP ARCHITECTURAL DRAWING PRIZE 2008

in celebration of the sixtieth birthday of His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales

His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales is renowned and admired for his longstanding practical commitment to the encouragement of traditional skills, including drawing skills. To celebrate his achievements in this field and to help mark His Royal Highness's sixtieth birthday in November 2008, The Georgian Group offered a prize for a measured drawing of a Georgian building. The prize aims to promote and reward excellence in measured architectural drawing and to encourage close study and understanding of Georgian buildings. 

The prizes were presented by HRH The Prince of Wales at a ceremony at The Ritz, Piccadilly on 26 November 2008. Competition entries were subsequently exhibited at 6 Fitzroy Square, London W1.

First prize: The Screen Wall of The Bank of England, London (Sir John Soane), drawn by Fergus Devlin-Connolly

Second prize: Doric House, Bath (J.M. Gandy), drawn by Chris Draper

Third prize: The Queen's Temple,  Kensington Gardens, London (William Kent) drawn by Martyn Winney

Commended entries:  Tokai, Cape Town, drawn by Marla Bekondo; Lloyd House, Alexandria, Virginia, drawn by Erik Bootsma; Sherman's Hall, Dedham, Essex, drawn by Eric Cartwright; The Richardson-Owens-Thomas House, Savannah, Georgia, drawn by Jonathan LaCrosse; and the Old State House, Boston, Mass., drawn by Lisa Lombardi.

The prize was for a drawing of an exterior or interior of an existing Georgian building and was open to British subjects and to citizens of the British Commonwealth, British Overseas Territories, Crown Dependencies and the USA who were under 40 on 1 May 2008. Work completed since 1 January 2007 was eligible.
