Next Event:
Our next talk is on the church architecture of Richard Twentyman (1903-1979).
A successful architect based in Wolverhampton, he designed houses, offices, pubs and schools, but he’s known particularly for his thirteen churches and chapels built between 1937 and 1973.
In the talk, based on their research into Twentyman’s life and career, Chris Kennedy and Aidan Ridyard select a sample of his churches and the art within them to illustrate his distinctive architectural evolution from an early ‘monumental phase’ to more modernistic approaches and later innovative design.
The authors suggest the British and European influences on his work and locate his architecture in the changing social, economic, and religious contexts of this period.
Do join us at the Penn Bowling and Social Club on Thursday, 19th February at 7:15pm for a 7:30pm start.
