We are pleased to announce that David Adshead, FSA, has been appointed to succeed David McKinstry as Secretary of the Georgian Group, the national amenity society for England and Wales for the period 1700 to 1837.
The Group’s Chairman, Christopher Boyle, QC, writes: ‘The Georgian Group is absolutely delighted to have been able to appoint David, who is well known to the Conservation field, to lead our work as Secretary. We look forward to protecting and promoting our Georgian heritage with renewed vigour and purpose.’
David Adshead writes: ‘It is a great honour to have been asked to serve the Georgian Group in its vital role of defending and celebrating architecture and landscapes of the long eighteenth century. Having had the privilege of working for many years for the National Trust with great buildings and collections already saved for the nation, the prospect of rolling up my sleeves and championing the cause of places threatened by neglect, demolition or inappropriate alteration is very stimulating.’
