These almshouses in Much Wenlock probably date from around 1800 and their touch of Gothic is provided by the distinctive double-curved ogee arches above the windows and doors. The library again shows the decorative (but not ornamental) use of marble and wood with large windows overlooking the lake. I was looking out for another example of the use of colour in architecture, when I came across this in one of Cheltenham’s Regency squares. In Part One I hope I proved that reprographics is pretty interesting. This part of the enclosed front porch is something of a shambles. Ogees first became fashionable in the 14th century, as part of the ornate kind of Gothic architecture that the Victorians called Decorated Gothic. This is part of the earlier fabric, as the Gothic window suggests. But there’s nothing else Decorated Gothic about these houses. There are more Gothic details on the east front, visible through trees from the main road and seen in my second photograph.

The use of a pale colour (blue, grey, buff, even orange) has always struck me as effective in this kind of architecture, especially when combined with details in low relief picked out in white. The PowerPoint slides are there, but you have to use exactly 20 of them and they have to be timed at 20 seconds each. Bad or good, 400 seconds and its on to the next one. It was a fortified manor house protected by a gatehouse, moat, and minimal military features, and a very fine one too. This house is a lovely example of that effect, but as I looked more closely I was even more impressed by the classical details, particularly the Ionic pilasters. The effect, especially with blue or grey walls, is reminiscent of cameo jewellery or Wedgwood pottery. This institute started with the generous donation offered by Sir Jamshedji Jeejeebhoy, the first Baronet. Roughly translated from the Japanese as “chit chat,” Pecha Kucha was started in Tokyo as a way for architects and designers to share their ideas without overburdening each other with lengthy PowerPoints.

At this stage, the ideas begin to be fleshed out, decisions are taken on what ideas are feasible and which ones work best for the location and fit within the budget. You will be working in a relaxed and informal work space, collaborating with a team of very talented individuals, and be integral to building a rich variety of services and features, using latest technologies and architecture patterns. He soon added a similar position at nearby Bourton-on-the-Water and this work helped to sustain the young composer until he got a scholarship to the Royal College of Music a couple of years later. Treatises were carefully followed but each artist added his own imaginary to his symbolic form. The Festival used Egyptian lettering, with plain slab serifs (there are some examples of the italic form of these letters in the picture below). Those rather chunky italic capitals seem to me to be very much in the graphic style fostered by the Festival of Britain, although in fact the principal Festival sign lettering was slightly different.

The lettering on the end wall of the Woolpack makes me think of 1951 too. He was able to add colour too, reminding us that even in the supposedly retrained phase of the English church, things were brighter and more vivid than we sometimes think. I find these figures rather moving and the nuances of pose that the sculptor allowed himself (or was allowed by eldest son Francis who commissioned the monument) very English in their restraint. It basically reflects the fantasies and dreams of those who actually need sufficient time and efforts to turn them into the reality. It’s important to have a team of experts who determine what you want and need for your operation. This article is a guide for the 10th standard pass outs who want to pursue law in the future. If you fall within these groups, this article is for you. But still, the chunky proportions of these letters do give them a 1950s feel and I suspect they’ve been here for some 60 years. Almshouses. There are little rows of them all over England, the result mostly of acts of local charity that have helped house the poor, the needy, and the old for hundreds of years.
