Historic England’s national blue plaque scheme celebrates people from all walks of life who have made a significant contribution to human welfare or happiness; and/or have made an exceptional impact in their field, community or on society at large. It helps showcase the importance of heritage everywhere, as every place in England has a unique story to tell.
The national blue plaque scheme is run by Historic England on behalf of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). It builds on the value and success of the London scheme (which continues to be led by English Heritage) and numerous local schemes across the country. Since the scheme was announced in September 2023, Historic England has installed 3 plaques as part of the development phase. They are dedicated to Daphne Steele, Clarice Cliff and George Harrison.Our call for public nominations is now open. We invite you to make a nomination and tell us who you think should receive a national blue plaque.
