The Marque of Excellence is a high quality stainless steel plaque that was designed by Lord Lloyd Webber and is awarded to those sacred worship spaces that reach a standard of excellence in welcoming visitors.
These places of worship are not only sacred to those who worship in them but are also buildings which showcase a variety of stories about their community. They share their religious and cultural heritage and collections with the community and visitors alike.
A site that has been awarded the Marque of Excellence and displays the plaque at the entrance to their building guarantees that the visitor will not only be assured of an exceptional level of welcome and hospitality but can also expect a high quality experience in terms of the overall interpretation of the site.
The Marque of Excellence is recognised as a Quality Standard by the five sub-regional Tourist Boards in the North West and by Visit England.
The Marque of Excellence is unique because it is the only award of its kind nationally.
