2 2 Introduction Oxford Preservation Trust s 1977 - Keeping the best of the old and encouraging the best of the new are words from the first OPT Annual Report 1927 which ethos remains at the heart of the Oxford Preservation Trust s, which began to celebrate our first 50 years in 1977. We are delighted that in this 40th anniversary year we continue to attract entries of the highest standard and quality, each making their own contribution to this great city of ours. The Panel have enjoyed visiting all of the projects leading to lively discussions in awarding the 7 plaques and 8 certificates across the categories of Building Conservation, New Buildings, Small Projects and the Landscape and the Environment. I thank our sponsors St Catherine s College, Carter Jonas incorporating Kemp and Kemp Property Consultants, Critchleys Accountants and Freeths Solicitors.
