Bryan Jerrard Award Winners

The Bryan Jerrard Award is given annually for what the judges believe to be the best published article on an aspect of Gloucestershire’s history during the past year. Further details, including the judging criteria and a list of previous winners, are available on the GLHA website.

 At the GLHA Forum meeting in September 2025, Steven Blake, Chair of the Judges, introduced the Award ceremony. He thanked his fellow judges John Chandler, David Aldred and particularly Mike Greet, who was standing down after many years as a judge.

Twelve local history groups had submitted journals and the judges had chosen a shortlist of 10 articles.

The winner of the 2024 Award was:

Steven Carter for his article ‘Coleford’s Jovial Foresters’, in the Forest of Dean Local History Society’s journal The New Regard 39 (2024). His prize of £60, sponsored by the History Press, was received by the editor, Nigel Costley, on his behalf.

 

The runner-up was:

Terry Moore-Scott for his article ‘The Manor, Hamlet and Tithing of Broadwell in Leckhampton’, Leckhampton Local History Society Research Bulletin 6 (2024).

Terry attended to receive his prize of £40 sponsored by the History Press.
