The Alice Davis Hitchcock Medallion - awarded since 1959 - is given annually to the author of a literary work which provides an outstanding contribution to the study or knowledge of architectural history. The winner of each year’s award is announced at the Annual Lecture and Awards Ceremony at the end of the year. Previous winners include Sir Howard Colvin, Dorothy Stroud, Sir John Summerson, Sir Nikolaus Pevsner, Hermione Hobhouse and Jill Lever.
The Medallion was presented to the Society by Professor Henry-Russell Hitchcock at a dinner in the Merchant Taylors’ Hall, York in 1959 in memory of his mother. The medallion - still issued today - consists of a Wedgwood portrait of James ‘Athenian’ Stuart.
