Celebrating Pevsner: Reflections on the Completion of The Buildings of England with Simon Bradley and Charles O'Brien

Watch the editors of the Pevsner Architectural Guides in conversation, reflecting on the revision of the Buildings of England series from 1983 to 2024, which were lately completed with the new Staffordshire volume. Simon Bradley and Charles O'Brien considered the development and updating of the guides over forty years, the expansion of their content and the challenges both of research and writing and of maintaining the spirit and ambition of Pevsner's original vision for the books. They also reflected on their own contributions as authors of the new and revised editions, spanning their time with Penguin Books and Yale University Press.

The event was be chaired by Jeremy Musson.
