SILVER SOCIETY SCHOLARSHIP IN MEMORY OF TIMOTHY ARTHUR KENT

Are you interested in English country houses? Their owners, their silver, furniture, porcelain, libraries and gardens? And are you free to attend a 16 day residential course from 27 June to 12 July, travelling across England with like-minded professionals from around the world?

Then the Attingham Summer School needs you! And the Silver Society is delighted to announce a fully-funded scholarship for the 2026 Summer School, made possible by the generous bequest of scholar and collector Timothy Arthur Kent. The scholarship will cover the full residential course fee (however the successful candidate must cover their own transport costs to/from the start point). Applications are open to members and non-members of the Silver Society alike – so please do pass this along to any interested parties.

  • Applicants must be professionally or academically involved in the world of silver.
  • Applications must be made through the Attingham Trust website: https://www.attinghamtrust.org/courses/the-attingham-summer-school-2026/

Please complete the scholarship application section at the bottom of the course application form, opting in to be considered for the Silver Society scholarship.

For any enquiries, please contact sabrina.silva@attinghamtrust.org directly.

The deadline for applications is 30th January 2026.

The successful applicant will be required to write an article of around 500 words for the autumn issue of the Silver Society newsletter.
