Dorset is not the first county that one would turn to in the general history of Victorian and Edwardian Architecture. This talk reveals the surprising delights of the period, a few somewhat familiar, others less so. Through writing two books on Dorset country houses, and revising the 1972 volume in the Buildings of England series (the new edition published in 2018), Michael Hill has visited and assessed all of the key buildings of the Victorian and Edwardian period in the county. Major architects, such as J.L. Pearson, R. Norman Shaw, and A.W.N. Pugin are represented together with more locally-based practitioners. We will meet George Rackstrow Crickmay (and his son), John Hicks, and that occasional architect, Thomas Hardy. And that much-derided architect, Thomas Henry Wyatt, together with his almost equally under-appreciated, sometime partner, David Brandon, are also reassessed. |
