Talk - From Birmingham to Byzantium to the Cotswolds

  • Corinium Museum Park Street Cirencester (map)

They originally hailed from Birmingham, but both left to study in London, where they met the friends who would become the architects of the Movement. This talk follows their life stories, including travels abroad as young men, Ernest heading to France and Italy, and Sidney to Greece and Turkey. After they settled in the Cotswolds they worked as architects and furniture makers, and the talk will look at their buildings, from Ernest’s Rodmarton Manor to Sidney’s Painswick almhouses, and their craft work, particularly Sidney’s furniture. We’ll also explore their lives in Sapperton, who they socialised with, and what they did for fun! For more information visit coriniummuseum.org
