The architectural, historical, religious and social changes that have shaped and formed our church buildings A talk by Nicholas Henderson The second lecture in this series begins with the epoch-changing Tudors and the creation of a new Protestantism, passing through the destructive changes of the 17th century followed by restoration and liturgical change. The largely forgotten Georgian period of church architecture is examined and the great period of church building as is gothic revival of the Victorians. Finally, we consider contemporary influences on church buildings and how our country churches reflect the passing of history.

Nicholas has a particular interest in the period of the English Reformation and social change. He lectures regularly and assists as a priest in London.
