Since 1930 the SPAB’s Lethaby Scholarship has offered an unrivalled training opportunity to architects, surveyors and engineers in the early stages of their career to travel countrywide together, learning on site from architects and specialist craftspeople working in building conservation. The majority of the nine-month programme is undertaken on site through visits guided by experts, with support from a SPAB mentor. There are no formal lectures or essay submissions, though Scholars are required to make periodic verbal reports and to submit a selection from their sketchbook at the end of the programme.
