Talk “Bucklers’ Yorkshire Buildings” on 17 September
Wakefield Civic Society meeting
There is an opportunity to hear Michael Rochford and Peter Brears, both members of our Society, talk about the background to their newly published book “Bucklers’ Yorkshire Buildings: the Architectural and Topographical Drawings of John Buckler and John Chessell Buckler of 1804-1820” at the Wakefield Civic Society meeting on 17 November.
Between 1804 and 1820 the Bucklers made a remarkably comprehensive graphic record of hundreds of Yorkshire’s finest and most interesting buildings, many now lost and forgotten. In this impressive book there are 34 plates in full colour and 181reproduced from the original pencil drawings, accompanied by explanatory text. The book includes many drawings of Wakefield including the Chantry Chapel.
