Bridgwater and District Civic Society, in its role of encouraging good architecture and planning in our Community of Bridgwater town and its related villages, has made several Awards in recognition of projects undertaken by private individuals, developers, builders and local authorities. These awards take the form of a framed certificate, presented by the Society's President, at an informal ceremony.
