This is the former chapel to The Middlesex Hospital on the edge of London’s Bloomsbury, a work of J.L.Pearson. AMS helped to secure its retention amid the redevelopment of the rest of the site and advised the new trust which now administers it as a local community and arts centre. An example of constructive conservation, of which we are very proud.
We kick-off our Online Centenary Lecture Series on Wednesday 17th January 2024 at 6pm.
Join us in welcoming our guest lecturer Matthew Saunders, former Secretary of Historic Buildings & Places (then known as the Ancient Monuments Society), and current Ecclesiastical Caseworker. Matthew will be presenting ‘A Century of AMS/HB&P Casework: Victories and Losses’. We will be introduced to some of the history and casework over the past 100 years and be treated to some highlights from Matthew’s time with the Society.
