The Ecclesiological Society is marking this anniversary and celebrating Street’s achievement with a lecture given by Peter Howell, author of a forthcoming biography of the architect. Peter Howell is a former chairman of the Victorian Society, and the biographer of J. F. Bentley, architect of Westminster Cathedral.
This is the first annual lecture in memory of the late Geoff Brandwood, a member of the Society’s Council, who through his writing, lecturing and photography did so much to raise awareness and appreciation of Victorian architecture. Geoff was working on a biography of Street at the time of his death, a task now being taken forward by Peter Howell.
The lecture will take place in The Monk Room of the parish centre adjoining Street’s magnificent church of St James-the-Less, Pimlico, which is our current featured church on the website, here.
The church will be open for attendees to visit beforehand, and the lecture at 6pm will be followed by wine and light refreshments.
