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.
