If you enjoy this blog – and, in particular, if you liked the post on S.S. Teulon – then be sure to tune in to an on-line lecture that I am giving next Monday 10th November 2025 at 6pm. It’s called ‘The unknown S.S. Teulon’ and is all about his domestic buildings, focusing in particular on his numerous vicarages, estate cottages and smaller country houses. It’ll cover his entire career, from his training in 1830s London all the way to his untimely demise – prolific and industrious even by the standards of Victorian architects, he pretty much worked himself to death – in 1873 at the age of just 61. Drawing on the research that I’ve been doing in preparation for my forthcoming monograph on Teulon, to be published by Lund Humphries in 2027/8, I’ve included lots of unfamiliar material, including a crop of new discoveries and plenty of eye candy taken on field trips over the last four years. It’s being given as part of this term’s Cambridge Architectural History Seminars and you can sign up here. Don’t miss it!
