During the Middle Ages London was home to one of the largest and richest merchant communities in the world. These men and their families invested heavily in fine architecture both for business and pleasure.
Simon Thurley, Visiting Professor of the Built Environment unearths the lost mercantile buildings of medieval London and shows how influential they were.
This event was on Wed, 17 Jan 2018
Professor Thurley is a leading architectural historian, a regular broadcaster and was, for thirteen years, Visiting Gresham Professor of the Built Environment.
