Voting is now under way for the 2014 English Heritage Angel Awards. The awards were founded in 2011 by Andrew Lloyd Webber to celebrate the efforts of individuals and local groups all over the country who put hours of hard work, passion and perseverance into saving vulnerable, damaged and derelict historic landmarks from being lost forever.

Voting opened on the 15th August and goes through to the 12th October.  The 16 community groups and individuals behind the nominated  projects will then be  looking forward to attending a star-studded, red carpet awards ceremony at the Palace Theatre in London on the evening of Monday 3rd November, hosted by Andrew Lloyd Webber.

The four categories are the Best Craftsmanship By A Trainee Or Apprentice Employed On A Heritage Rescue, The Best Rescue Of A Historic Industrial Building Or Site, Best Rescue Of Any Other Type Of Historic Building Or Site and Best Rescue Or Repair Of A Historic Place Of Worship.
