Our next event
Thursday 13th February in the Royal Wells Hotel at 7.30pm
'The Development of the Kentish House' - we welcome back Paul Britton for another in his series of
illustrated talks. For many centuries,
Kent has been a heavily populated and fairly prosperous area, and accordingly it
presents us with a fine legacy of vernacular architecture, as good if not better than
that of any other English county. It is especially rich in good houses of all periods. On
this occasion, therefore, Paul Britton will examine the development of smaller and
medium sized houses from the medieval period down to the 20th century, looking in
particular at changes in style, plan and building materials.
