Arguably Victorian Britain never found its stylistic identity, particularly with regards to architecture. While the gothic revival dominated, other styles were simultaneously explored, largely due to experimentation with modern materials. This course will look at the variety of nineteenth century architectural practices.
Please note – there will be building visits as part of the afternoon study and this will involve some walking between destinations.
