The award categories are: Restoration of a Georgian Country House; Restoration of a Georgian Interior; Restoration of a Georgian Building in an Urban Setting; Reuse of a Georgian Building; Restoration of a Georgian Garden or Landscape; New Building in the Spirit of the Georgian Era; New Building in a Georgian Context. Previous winners include the Great Pagoda, Kew Gardens, the Saloon at Brighton Pavilion, the Painted Hall at Greenwich, Pitzhanger Manor in Ealing and Hillsborough Castle in County Down, Northern Ireland, as well as numerous private houses. Grants The Georgian Group's small grants fund for the repair and restoration of Georgian buildings, monuments and fixtures and fittings is called the F. E.
