The development of the British Museum, our greatest Greek Revival monument, spans the Georgian, Victorian + Edwardian ages. Steven Brindle, published widely on the history of architecture, considers Smirke’s design, the ideology that produced it, and its strange later history.

NEWS: NEWS: The Church of St Richard, Ham, is one of three listed buildings to be awarded grant funding worth more than £1million by @historicengland to aid their repair St Richard was designed in 1964-66 by post-war Modernist architect Ralph Covell, who created over twenty churches in the Diocese of Southwark. The church was Grade II listed in 2024 following support from C20 Society, on account of its innovative 1960s architecture, superb ‘dalle de verre’ window glass, and Star of David–shaped plan, which is thought to be unique. However, its complex and striking hyperbolic paraboloid roof structure has failed and the building needs urgent structural support. Part of the roof is already supported by scaffolding, but the church has had to be closed until further propping is put in place. Historic England’s grant of £428,384 will enable the installation of this additional internal propping to support the roof, alongside the construction of a large canopy to protect the building from any further water damage until full repairs can be carried out. The National Lottery Heritage Fund has also awarded a grant of £248,000 to prepare plans for comprehensive repairs cost £3million, expected to begin in 2027.
