Awards chairman Dr John Godfrey said: “We are delighted with the number of entries for this year’s Sussex Heritage Trust Awards.

“We hope that this is indicative of the forecast upward economic trend nationally and signals the emerging recovery of the construction industry, following the 2008 financial crisis.”

The annual Sussex Heritage Trust Awards is the only scheme of its kind operating throughout the whole of East and West Sussex.

Entries are open to owners, architects and contractors, as well as societies, surveyors and anyone involved in restoration and construction.
