Conservation work on historic buildings across Surrey has been celebrated at an awards ceremony.
Hosted by the Surrey Historic Buildings Trust, the event took place at Wotton House near Dorking.
Buildings from the 15th up to the 19th centuries were among the nominees at the Surrey Heritage Awards.
They included three Tudor barns, a 15th century moated house and a country property originally designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, the architect who created the Cenotaph in London.

Repairs to Burstow Farmhouse in South Nutfield won top prize in its category
Conservation work on Sir Edwin's Chinthurst Hill house in Wonersh, which is Grade II listed, won best design in an historic context.
Work to restore the three 16th Century barns at Elmley Farm in Bowlhead Green was highly commended for preserving the character of the buildings.

Chinthurst Hill country house in Wonersh won in the best design category
Burstow Farmhouse in South Nutfield won best overall conservation project, which judges said had shown "the highest standards of conservation and repair".
The Grade II* 15th Century house also has a Georgian facade, with repairs to the brick, stonework and roof timbers "sensitively undertaken", according to the society.
Crowhurst Place, a moated house built in 1485, was judged to have shown best building craftsmanship, for extensive repairs to its timber frame and windows.
