David Riches Postgraduate Medal

In 2008, the Trustees decided to institute the David Riches Postgraduate Medal. This is an award for the best postgraduate research student essay, to be based on a chapter of a PhD thesis and is awarded on a competitive basis. The entries are judged by an External Assessor. The Holy Trust donates £1000 towards the prize, and another £100 is provided by the Riches family. The prize has been awarded since 2009 and a certificate is sent to the winning candidate/s with a cheque and letter from Katherine Holy.
