This talk will explore a range of houses, landscapes and garden buildings by Thomas Archer, a much-overlooked figure of the English Baroque.
These “Hampshire History Midweek Musings” start at 6pm and include a complimentary drink - so perfect for winding down after a busy day.Dr Helen Lawrence-Beaton is closely involved in ADAM Architecture’s historic buildings projects. She has a broad academic knowledge of British architecture and Garden History and has nearly 20 years experience in writing Heritage Statements, Pattern Books and Local Character Studies. She has researched the history and development of numerous listed buildings, historic estates, farms, towns and villages throughout the UK. Helen studied History of Art before joining ADAM Architecture in 2002 and she has since gained a Masters degree in Garden History. She has more recently completed a PhD on Thomas Archer and is now the leading authority on this key architect of the English Baroque.
This talk will explore a range of houses, landscapes and garden buildings by Thomas Archer, a much-overlooked figure of the English Baroque in the early eighteenth century. Archer’s architectural designs will be placed in the context of his career at court, which gave him access to some of the most affluent and powerful individuals in the country and was pivotal in securing many of his architectural commissions. It will also discuss his wide knowledge of landscape design, with an emphasis upon his known and documented works within Hampshire. This will include his own estate at Hale, where he created a pioneering landscape and is laid to rest within the estate church.
