Came across the lychgate at St Luke’s, Milland (1999) by Sir Hubert Bennett, chief architect at the LCC between 1956 and 1970. Fittingly, he’s buried in the grave closest to the gate.

Took my new Hawksmoor-inspired jumper up to Christ Church Spitalfields today 🪦

All credit goes to the wonderful Hebe who spent countless hours knitting it!

Good view of Spence’s glowering Trawsfynydd Power Station from last night’s campsite

Very pleased with my find from the Sheffield Local Studies Library book sale 👀

Now watching 📺📺📺

I’ve written about Arthur Quarmby’s pleasingly bizarre Mole Manor for the Twentieth Century Society, having a huge amount of fun reading about Quarmby’s hugely varied output in the process!

Some bonus Bill and Barbara

In love with the whimsical castle he built for his grandchildren

Finally made it to Frederick Gibberd’s house and garden in Harlow. What a bucolic place

Stanton Williams’ Wellcome Trust Millennium Building at Wakehurst, the Royal Botanic Gardens’ East Sussex satellite. It’ll be 25 years old this year, but looks to be holding up well 🌱🌱🌱

Walking in the Yorkshire Dales today and stumbled across George Pace’s buildings at Scargill House completely by accident. The chapel is wonderful - it feels incredibly modern for a building completed over sixty years ago.
