Bryan Jerrard Award 2010

Each year the Local History Association awards a prize to the author of the best article published during the year on any aspect of local history in Gloucestershire. The judges look for interesting topics with well organised material and footnotes (endnotes) and bibliography where appropriate; use of illustrations including maps and plans and a variety of sources with awareness of their reliability, together with how the topic fits into the regional and national context.
