TYNTESFIELD

A lecture by John McVerry at The Architecture Centre
Tuesday 20 April, 19.00, £6.50/£4.50

On June 14 2002, the National Trust announced a major new acquisition - Tyntesfield. The Trust had purchased one of the last remaining examples of a great country house built in the Victorian high Gothic style, along with its contents, gardens and estates.

John McVerry is Project Director for Tyntesfield for the National Trust. When Lord Wraxall died in 2001, John was part of the National Trust team that launched the appeal and managed to secure the property for the nation. The beauty of the place, the investment of public funds and its proximity to Bristol has enabled Tyntesfield to become a pilot in linking heritage and people in a very modern way.
