The Samuel Ryder Foundation

The Society is pleased to be an active supporter of the Samuel Ryder Foundation, with personal and financial contributions to help develop the Samuel Ryder Trail. A leaflet describing the trail was published at the beginning of June 2010.

More details about the Foundation, including fascinating biographical details of Samuel Ryder, can be found here.

Awards

Do you know of a project that might deserve recognition in the Society’s Awards? These can be for new developments, large or small, but could be for a small extension, restored windows on a period property, or a rebuilt wall. Its not just about buildings either. Remember the Society’s Awards cover things that enhance the quality of St Albans environment or amenities and the Trevelyan Award is presented for a conservation project.

Get ready for our call for details of projects that might deserve one of the St Albans Civic Society Awards. Spring 2026 will see the start of our new Awards season so it’s time to start to think what you’ve noticed that’s impressed you and to get ready to share details for the shortlisting team to review. We’re interested in new build and restoration projects and anything that enhances the quality of our city’s amenities, environment or public realm. We’ll confirm the schedule as well as the process when we ask for 2026 nominations.
