‘Elegant, Well-Mannered and Never Dull – The Church Architecture of Richard Twentyman’

Richard Twentyman, (1903-1979) the brother of the sculptor Anthony Twentyman, was a successful West Midlands architect based in Wolverhampton, known particularly for the churches he designed. The talk, based on research into his life and career, explores how his architecture developed in response to changing social, economic and religious circumstances

The talk is free to members and £3 for non-members.  Lately, space has been limited so non-members must book by emailing friendswolvesarchives@gmail.com first.
