English Houses 1300-1800: Vernacular Architecture and Social Life
Professor Matthew Johnson of Southampton University wrote:
This lecture reflected on fifty year's work on the study of vernacular architecture since the death of
OGS Crawford.
It asked the question: what can we say about the national story of traditional buildings? How do we take the many
fascinating local
and regional studies from all corners of the land, and translate them into a national picture? This lecture considered two crucial
moments in the story of ordinary buildings: the Reformation, and the so-called 'rise of Georgian' in the 18th
century. It asked how
we can move back and forth, between the smallest details of houses on the one hand, to the social history of
England and the
Atlantic world on the other.
