@sophiebwaterman The Nedeham volumes are amazing. So rich with information for building accounts! I was looking through them a couple of weeks ago and have found a few references to Elizabeth Boleyn within, also Lady Wynkefield. Happy to correspond if useful.

@AnnaLandmark These are in Hampstead, built c.1840 to house watercress pickers. A really lovely example of C19 workers cottages, built adjoining fields and the Heath before Hampstead expanded to the south.

[India S. Wright @Indiaswright]

I’m excited to be leading a sold out tour of Hampstead later this week for @GeorgianGroup. We’ll be exploring the history steeped slopes of one of London’s best-loved villages. Travelling back to the 18th century when Hampstead was a rural retreat one hours walk from London.

So enjoyed Notes & Queries, the symposium in honour of Richard Hewlings yesterday. It was a privilege to talk alongside such a distinguished array of speakers and just such a lovely occasion. Thank you @elizdeans and @CSCA_Cambridge for organising.

[Centre for the Study of Classical Architecture @CSCA_Cambridge]

In our second session we heard from @GuerciManolo on John Thorpe and Somerset House, Charles Hind on John Webb and Greenwich Palace, @HorsfallTurner on Turkish baths in Newgate Street, Ian Campbell on Scamozzi, and @Indiaswright on gardens of the Inns of Court #NotesandQueries

Building cannibalism: another greedy facade retention scheme tripling the size of the original structure consumed #graysinnroad #facaderetention

[India S. Wright @Indiaswright]

@charlesjholland Quinlan Terry? What a window into the psyche!

[India S. Wright @Indiaswright]

@BarnabasCalder I rather like it too. It has a rhythm, a grounding predictability - like the science of musical appreciation but for the eyes. The brick lends a (quite literally) earthy quality to the facade, which also helps camouflage the grime of pollution from Gray’s Inn Road!
