Please note that this lecture takes place on a MONDAY.

In Mid Georgian Britain, attitudes towards Gothic architecture and culture began to shift. Strawberry Hill House presaged major new themes: asymmetry in composition and plan, picturesqueness on the outside, and romantic qualities in interior design and decoration. In the 1780s and 90s the scale went up, as major architects like James Wyatt and John Nash became involved, and Gothic was adopted by ever grander clients, including George III and George IV. Steven Brindle considers the spectacular development of the style in late Georgian Britain, how it became a full alternative to Classicism, set Britain apart from the rest of Europe, and formed the essential matrix of Victorian architecture.

The talk starts at 6.30pm, doors open from 6.15pm.
