5. David Bryce: The 19th Century Edinburgh Architect<\/h3>\n

By Neil Jackson<\/h3>\n

Few nineteenth-century Edinburgh architects demonstrated such a plurality of style, from Scottish Baronial to French Ch\u00e2teau to Neo-classicism to Baroque, as did David Bryce.

William Morris & G.F. Bodley: A Creative Relationship with an Abrupt End<\/h3>\n

By Michael Hall<\/h3>\n

When William Morris embarked on his short-lived career as an architect in the office of G.E. Street in 1856, he formed a life-long friendship with Street\u2019s assistant Philip Webb. At the same time he encountered Street\u2019s old friend G.F. Bodley. For a decade, from 1861, Bodley was a leading patron of the newly-founded Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. Michael Hall discusses the results of this fruitful collaboration and explains why it came to an abrupt end in the early 1870s.<\/p>\n

Michael Hall<\/strong> is an art historian & the author of the award-winning book George Frederick Bodley and the Later Gothic Revival in Britain and America<\/em> (2014).<\/p>\n

A.W.N. Pugin and the Country House<\/h3>\n

By Rosemary Hill<\/h3>\n

Pugin never built a country house, but he worked on and off throughout his career on the Staffordshire estate of his patron, the Earl of Shrewsbury, at Alton Towers and Alton Castle. Pugin and Shrewsbury shared a belief in the social and spiritual purpose of architecture, but were often at odds about how best to realise it. By considering both men in their time and in their relationship to one another and to architecture, it is possible to see how their debates have left their mark, not only in some of the country houses of Britain and Ireland, but in many Victorian villas, and not least, in the Palace of Westminster.<\/p>\n

Rosemary Hill<\/strong> is a trustee of the The Victorian Society & a Quondam Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford. She is the author of God\u2019s Architect<\/em>, a multi-award winning biography of Augustus Pugin.<\/p>\n

Refashioning Gothic: The Architecture of Temple Moore<\/h3>\n

By Geoff Brandwood<\/h3>\n

Moore was from a younger generation and carried the Gothic torch into the second decade of the twentieth century until his death in 1920. He was part of an architectural world that reacted against the highly ornate, highly coloured fashions of the mid-Victorian years. After pupilage under the great G.G. Scott junior, Moore\u2019s practice took off in the 1890s, patronised by England\u2019s most liberal church-builder, Yorkshire\u2019s Sir Tatton Sykes.<\/p>\n

A former chair of the The Victorian Society, the late Dr Geoff Brandwood<\/strong> was the leading expert on Temple Moore.<\/p>\n
