Blue Plaques Selection Process
Almost all the proposals for English Heritage Blue Plaques are made by members of the public who write or email the organisation before submitting a formal proposal.
English Heritage's in-house historian researches the proposal, and the Blue Plaques’ Panel advises on which suggestions should be successful. This is composed of 13 people from various disciplines from across the country. The panel is chaired by Professor Sir David Cannadine, and includes former Poet Laureate Professor Sir Andrew Motion and buildings historian Professor Gavin Stamp. The actor and broadcaster Stephen Fry is also a prominent member of the panel.
Roughly one third of proposals are approved in principle, and are placed on a shortlist. Because the scheme is so popular, and because a lot of detailed research has to be carried out, it takes about three years for each case to reach the top of the shortlist. Proposals which are not taken forward can only be re-proposed once ten years have elapsed.
