Talk on Victorian and Edwardian Buildings of Importance

Mon, 23 Oct 2023

Dr Jonathan Kewley will be talking on 'Victorian and Edwardian Buildings of Importance' at an annual joint lecture hosted by Manx National Heritage and the Isle of Man Victorian Society.

Dr Kewley is of Manx descent and has known the Island all his life. He read history at Oxford and now works for Historic England as an architectural Historian. He is the author of the new Buildings of the Isle of Man in the Pevsner series.

Pevsner’s guides have played a huge role in the appreciation of architectural history, as companions to the tourist, and as a vital tool to architects, conservation officers and researchers. The talk will celebrate Pevsner’s influence, achievement, and legacy, and give an opportunity to discover new corners of the Island.

The talk that is open to all takes place on Saturday, October 28 at the Manx Museum Lecture Theatre at 2:30pm.
