ABBOTT, JOHN Plasterer, Frithelstock, Devon. John Abbott Sr 1565-1635 was followed by son Richard Abbott and then by grandson John Abbott Jr 1639-1727. Tiny notebook, family sketchbook over 150 years of designs in Devon RO. John Abbott Sr may have done Triumph of Time overmantel at Binham Grange, Old Cleeve as book has design for similar panel at Dean Head, Swimbridge, Devon, but there are too many dissimilarities to be sure. Binham Grange plaster is by same hand as Marshwood Farm, Blue Anchor, Carhampton, nearby and Penoyres suggest the Skimmington Ride at Montacute (J&J Penoyre, Decorative Plasterwork, 43-44). Linked also are overmantels in Luttrell Arms, Dunster, and No 18 Fore St, Tautnon. Penoyres conclude that Robert Eaton as likely to be responsible as John Abbott Sr. John Abbott Jr did work at the Custom House, Exeter 1680-1, his only authenticated work, in the grand manner of the Dunster Castle ceilings of 1681. There was similar Devon work at Dunsland (c1690 dem) and there is still at Youlston Park (one coat of arms refers to marriage of 1715) and Royal Hotel in Bideford (1688), over Long Gallery at Portledge (late C17), over stairs at Pynes (Upton Pyne c.1700) and Downes (arms of 1739-42 but perhaps earlier) and in Cleeve Ho (late C17) and Franklyn Ho (late C17)(both nr Exeter), Hensleigh, Tiverton (c.1700), and Shell Ho, Topsham (late C17).

Cf email from J Schwieso, from Cobbe’s letters to parents in Ireland. ‘Actual ‘authorship’ of the bridge wasn’t identified but, as he was still working for Gravatt then, Cobbe is probably just the clerk in charge and the bridge is Gravatt's’: 11 March 1840. To go to Langport on 25th and the work will take 8 months. Will get at least 2-3 guineas a week. Notes that his indenture (?) with Gravatt ends 1st of May. 14th September 1840 An accident with a gig requiring the application of 1 dozen Langport leeches “notorious bloodsuckers”. 18th September 1840 Still working on the bridge, mentions it being 3 arches in all.

It was his daft idea to suppress the main drive to Millfield House itself and thus make the avenue and Lodge quite irrelevant. Neville designed the Theatre but it was some sort of design & build contract and was detailed by Nugent Vallis Brierley (NVB) from Frome.

DENING, CHARLES ironfounder, Chard, 1806-80; SAS; In 1842 he joined in partnership with John Wightman in the iron foundry business he had established fourteen years earlier in an existing smithy, off Holywood Street, Chard. When John Wightman retired in 1867, and the partnership was dissolved, the firm became C. Dening and Company. In 1880 one of Charles Dening’s four sons, Samuel Henry Dening (1837-1919), took over the business, and it was then known as Dening & Company. The following year he oversaw a move to new premises at the Crimchard, acquiring the former rope and twine works, together with Crimchard House. By 1887 the workforce had increased to fifty-seven, new workshops and a foundry had been built. Samuel’s son Henry also joined the family business, having completed his studies at the London Polytechnic. By 1900 Henry Dening was running the firm assisted by a former college friend, William George Warren. When Henry died in 1906, Bert Dening with his brothers took over the business under the watchful eye of their grandfather, Samuel Dening. After Samuel died in 1919 Bert became managing director, and by 1933, the workforce numbered one hundred and thirty, and the firm’s reputation both at home and abroad was high. Bert and his brother William retired in 1937, thereby bringing to an end the direct Dening family involvement in the foundry. The business went into liquidation in 1951 and the buildings at Crimchard were dem. in 1986. Firm made cast iron grave markers and crosses, installed across Somerset, the West Country and as far a field as Scotland, 1876-1904 and gas lamp posts for Ilminster [foundry marks]

EDNEY, WILLIAM Blacksmith Bristol, +1725; business continued by his brother Simon; JS Gardiner English Ironwork of C17 and C18; Andy Foyle e-mail: Edneys of Bristol - I don't know much, sorry. There doesn't seem to be much about them, e.g. Bristol Archives - but maybe the online catalogue doesn't have their names, in which case, lots of digging. There was a John Edney buried in Bedminster in 1726 (and a daughter Mary buried a year later) but no indication he was a smith. Ancestry searches turned up lots of Edneys in West Wilts and South Glouestershire, including 17th and 18th century John Edneys many of them entered in the parish registers as "alias Hooper" suggesting they were blacksmiths. Corsham and Luckington (near Malmesbury) seem to occur lots. e.g. the screen grab here of John and Steven Edney alias Hooper who both died in January 1654; I wonder if the William and Simon who became well known for their Bristol work actually came from a little way west (east?), explaining the scarcity of Bristol records. More research needed.

Henry who commented that F had ‘no taste’ had discussed the designs with Charles Hamilton of Painshill, an old friend’. J Martin also comments that work continued in 1750s most directed by N Ireson ‘though HF also seems to have been involved. Inside the house some of the chimney-pieces were altered. Outside, a new lodge with round embattled towers was constructed at the W entrance to the park in 1754-5. Another building described as a ‘venison house’ was built at the same time. Then in 1759 a total of £136.18.6d was spent on bricks for the ‘feasant court’, an aviary for ornamental game birds. A letter from child Lady S Fox to her father 29.4.1752 says ‘I am told the new lodge is not began, the greatest part of the ?rubish of Mrs Wallis’s old house is taken away’.

GILES & ROBINSON see CE Giles

GILES, CHARLES EDMUND, Architect, Taunton, 1822-81. Wrote a MS autobiography (CEG) now in America, of which a photocopy in SRO T/PH/wln 1. Born Frome, son of William Giles 1783-1853, brought up at Old Rectory, schooled in Frome (vicious Welsh headmaster called Williams), then in Bridgwater school run badly by his older brother, then articled aged 14 1836-9 to Henry Shaw of London (useless ‘he knew himself to be no architect in any sense excepting the desire to be one’ (CEG). Giles’ brother then running badly the City of London School had met Shaw and commissioned from him a Tudor Gothic house to be built at Windlesham, near Oxford (??near Bagshot), hence the apprenticeship (‘result as most blunders are of ignorance and some crime’). Left Shaw 1839 worked for (?George) Alexander qv, London (‘as bad as the previous error’,‘a man absolutely without talent for art of any kind’ ‘devilish temper’ ‘no clients came a second time’) Aged 20 in 1842 returned to Frome, family in chaos, before buying a ten-year partnership aged 21 for £500 with Somerset County Surveyor Richard Carver (‘who had in the days of ignorance of all art matters in England done a large business through the opportunity afforded him by his office of contact with the squires of the county’). (‘greatest difficulties lay with my partner himself who could not at all understand Art to be otherwise than a fashion of the times changing with Caprice’ CEG 144). Carver became jealous when younger squires and clergy came to CEG, fostered by Carver’s 2nd wife who wanted to benefit her younger son. Married Carver’s eldest daughter by his 1st wife on 1.3.1848 (Jane Eleanor Carver 1822-1900) ‘with whom came about £1000 of money and soon after the death of the second sister of consumption another £400’ with which bought No 14 The Crescent, Taunton where they were resident by 1850 and first two children were born Eleanor (1850-1931) and Edmund (1852-1926); money problems persisted through conflict with Carver ‘did all that he might to achieve my ruin’ but luckily ‘soon after this son died and the enmity collapsed and my friendship was now sought’; Abandoned partnership about 1849 (dissolved 14.8.1852, SAS) losing sum paid for partnership; much involved with foundation of SANHS with Sir William Trevelyan & Rev W Chilcott 26.9.1849; took three pupils and moved out to The Close, Stoke St Mary, 1853, for 3 years, where sons Edgar (1855-96) and William (1856-92) were born; had 6½ acres, lived there with his three pupils Stephens from Maidstone a ‘’ who later joined with CEG's assistant Peck and succeeded ‘pretty well in his career’, - Levins who had taste for crazy religion and left to be ordained and is ‘a rather dull executive kind of parson’ and Richard Gane who ‘finished his career with me’ completed his articles in a good office in London, joined his father in trade as a builder in Trowbridge and years after (1869) when I was in difficulties from ill-health bought a share of my business and doing fairly well with me for two years when my health gave way finally bought the remaining share and stock (1873) and started fairly on his own account. In this he signally failed not having head for responsibility he became a drunkard and going to Australia died there at Sydney of drink and despair … left debt unpaid to me of £310; wife’s uncle died 1857 left money to his nieces ‘but tied up in entail so that a more weak and foolish will could not have been made, meanwhile his wife was to…ing a life interest in the strength of which she at once married her old lover and survived some 21 years’ (CEG 146). On marriage did a tour abroad in 1848, prevented by revolutions from going to France, went to Bruges, Antwerp, Brussels, Cologne, Hanover, Leipzig, Dresden, Berlin, Hamburg before beginning life at No 14 The Crescent. Saw revolution in streets of Berlin. First child Eleanor b 30.5.1850, Edward b1852, Edgar b1853, William Edward b1856. In 1849 visited artist Henri Gerente in Paris. After 1849 foundation of SANHS got influential clients to set against ‘jealousy of my partner and his destruction of my hopes’. Got work in Lincs through cousin Archdeacon Giles and from Rev Pulteney in Northants and Rev H Broyd (?) in London. Father’s death in 1853 left him enough money to free him from partnership debt. Went on six month tour to Italy leaving office in hands of his ‘clever assistant’ Mr Peck qv and pupil Stephens qv, a youth from Maidstone. At end of 1856 moved to Westbourne Park Villas, London, and in 1859 to 24 Westbourne Park Road, lived there until 1866 when moved to Brentwood, Essex. Year 1865 was acme of career earned £600 then ‘sudden illness swept away all the results of my success and cast me back into necessity and petty ways of life for ever’. To this he blames the fact that only the eldest child had proper education. In London joined RIBA sponsored by Scott & Ferrey but only spoke once at meetings. Business mostly church restorations, schools and parsonages never lucrative. Attended art-drawing classes in Newman St until health failed. 1865-6 confined to house by ill-health, so took into partnership Mr Robinson an old assistant who paid ‘only £100’ for a half-share. By 1868 business failing ‘my partner having a habit of wine-drinking to excess’ obliged in 1869 to restore his £100 to get rid of him. Had to seek help – Gane bought share at very small cost and in 1873 bought the whole partnership. Never earned more than £600, generally £450 and in bad years of American War fell to £200. I ended my upward career at 43 (1865) then an invalid. In 1873 income ceased entirely apart from income from a farm at Woolavington from widow of wife’s uncle Mr Morse supposed to bring in £165 but more like £140-150. Decided to go abroad, in Zurich 1874-5, Lausanne, Vevey 1876-9, then Florence 1879. Died at Rome. London office was at 7 Furnivals Inn partnership of Giles & Robinson (G&R) from 1866-9 with Walter Robinson (1833-1918) of London, at 7 Furnivals Inn AEBTD 1868; then Giles & Gane (G&G) 1869-76 with Richard Gane (c1839-77) of Trowbridge, Gane in sole charge from 1873. Giles & Gough qv partnership wrongly said to be CE Giles & W Venn Gough qv c1876-82 for Crewkerne Grammar School but this was by a London partnership of John Giles and – Gough.

A watercolour painting by Peter Orlando Hutchinson (1810-1897) of Sidmouth depicts the state at that time. In 1846 had been struck by lightning causing considerable damage; following the death of the Duke in 1852, local concerns were galvanised into commissioning the report in which CEG envisaged completing the monument as a simple pillar, without the terminal statue conceived by Lee.

Clive Aslet, The Last Country Houses, 1982, 329; Alan Powers (ed.), H.S. Goodhart-Rendel 1887-1959, 1987, 54; RA 1937 exh;

In the list in his 1987 AA catalogue Alan dates it to 1924-7 and 1948, for the Hon. Mervyn Herbert. 'A small Regency house was enlarged with a new wing, invisibly blended into the earlier work. The main external feature is a two-storey bow with carved wooden caryatids above a concave copper roof, with a semi-dome over, a free invention in the Regency manner. Internally there is much ingenious period detail, and a fine single-flight staircase in the manner of CR Cockerell. Goodhart-Rendel also designed lodges, cottages etc.' He illustrates the front with the bow, and on p.11 has a detail of the bow, while on p.12 he writes: 'His commissions of that decade [the 1920s], mainly domestic and 'keeping in keeping' with earlier fragments of houses like Langham Old Hall and Tetton House to which he was adding, were typical of their time. An individual touch is apparent in the geometric elaboration, sometimes forced on to an uncomfortably small scale. Yet Tetton House is worthy of special mention as a rare exercise in Regency Revival architecture, as opposed to decoration.'

Ribs from corbels w angels bearing shields and inscriptions (colours by Foot & Son, painters, Yeovil). Transept roof has corbels and cornice similar to old work which was discovered.

HALLAM, VIC. Company involved with Somerset County Council schools programme in late 1950s early 1960s, esp. Vic Hallam Ltd designed and made pre-fabricated buildings, esp schools, also Anderby seaside chalets, at Anderby, Lincs and in Devon and Cornwall. The Vic Hallam architect involved with Somerset CC was John Rice acc to JFoden, but Jeff Sneasby of Acland Baron & Smith who was also involved in development of the Method building system (see Somerset County Architects) may have been with Vic Hallam.

Vic Hallam and his brothers started their firm making chicken coops and sheds at Marlpool. By the time the company reached its peak in the 1960’s, they had a huge site (seen here) next to the Erewash Canal at Langley Mill, and were renowned for their prefabricated buildings, particularly schools. The company was also responsible for building the Derbyshire Miners’ Camp at Skegness. The Hallam site is now under reconstruction as a business-park. 1966 Cheddar Secondary Modern, Somerset (extract from system-build website) The system-built secondary schools of the 1960s haven’t really been a cause of much pride in the architectural world. Vic Hallam’s advert for just such a modular, timber-framed design design at the Cheddar Secondary Modern School makes it look rather smart. But it was taken in summer; in winter, the pupils in the picture probably shivered due to lack of insulation. Typical Construction & Problems With Vic Hallam Buildings - See Below (Sheffield LEA) Typical Construction Sheffield LEA which informed us that it had identified problems with some 1950s Derwent timber framed schools. They were manufactured by Vic Hallam plc in the 1950s and 1960s. The Derwent system comprises permanent buildings of one or two storeys, mainly based on a timber post and plywood box beam framing construction. The buildings are braced by tongue-and-groove roof boards and framed external wall panels. Later forms of the system used different types of cladding such as brick work and tile hanging, although the same principle of structure remained. Typical Problems Sheffield LEA found deterioration in the external walls and in certain internal structural members of Derwent buildings. Other common faults were rotting of the timber columns between window sill and floor level, rotting of timber internal columns between floor level and lower ceiling level at the point at which a change of room height occurred and rotting of external columns over their entire height, when adjacent to rainwater outlets, together with other examples of junctions between plywood beams and timber posts that were exposed to water leaks. Hope this helps. Ioan Howells.

HICKS, JOHN Architect. 1815-69. Born in Totnes, son of parson schoolmaster who moved to Rangeworthy nr Bristol in 1834. Dorset Historic Churches Trust (DHCT) suggest that he began practice in Bristol in 1838. In partnership with SB Gabriel (H&G) from c1845-8. Moved practice to 39 South St, Dorchester, Dorset, probably in 1850 (before 1852) as his older brother Rev James Hicks was curate then vicar of Piddletrenthide, vicar 1845-85. Thomas Hardy qv worked for him, articled 1856-9, paid assistant 1860-2, left for London 1862 to join Arthur Blomfield qv and returned as Hicks' assistant 1867-9. Hardy worked on St Peter, Dorchester, and designed capitals at Turnworth, 1868-9. Hicks's work after he died in 1869 was completed by GR Crickmay qv, not by T Hardy;

Confusion of JH with an erroneous SJ Hicks of Bristol qv is probably based on misreading of signature; ICBS only lists John Hicks as Gabriel's partner;

'Higgison Brown & Stuckey, HBS as they became have advised Millfield for years and their QS, John Pendelston, became estates advisor employed full-time by Millfield. Pendelton and Millfiled eventually fell out but HBS go on. Their work is consistently feeble.' (J Gould). Richard Samuel formerly of Somerset County Architects worked for them in 1990s.

JELLY & PALMER Bath see Thomas Jelly

JELLY, THOMAS Bath +1781. Architect, builder, in partnership with John Palmer J&P; HC; married in 1760 to Mary Smith niece of Richard Whatly of Bradford on Avon;

Jelly's wife was Mary Smith; her grandfather was John Whatly (1671-1717) Bradford maltster innkeeper at the New Inn (Old House) whose daughter Ann(e) married clothworker John Smith in 1736/7. Richard Whatly (1709-1782) was Ann's brother and married Eleanor Smith, daughter of the same John Smith by his first wife - keep it in the family! I have seen, somewhere, Richard referred to as Steward of the Kingston estate, as well as having property of his own, but I was only thinking about the BoA estate, not the Bath one. I suppose there might be reference in Bath or Nottingham, but that is a step too far for me!

Richard Whatly's daughter Ann married Rev Benjamin Richardson, curate of BoA and pioneer geologist, friend of William Smith and donor to the Bristol and Bath Institutions (that's why I initially got interested) in 1785 and Lynchetts was built for them. The tithe map of 1841 lists numerous properties as Ann Richardson's after his death, presumably inherited from her father and she had a house in Belvedere in Bath. An obituary for Richardson was published in 1832 by "H.J." who was Rev Henry (Harry) Jelly (d 1843), Thomas' youngest son, Perpetual Curate of Trinity Church, Bath, and another geologist. There was a Rev Harry Richardson Jelly, who may be the same.

Begun in 1817, it was originally intended to support a cast-iron statue of the Duke, but was completed with a conical cap in 1852. The monument was restored in 1892. Also it was supposed to be surrounded by fifteen cannon (supposedly captured at Waterloo, but discovered to be Scottish naval cannon destined for Russia), but lack of funds prevented their removal from Exeter (where they were used as quayside bollards). Four were eventually acquired in 1911, but removed for scrap during the Second World War. Finally a further gun was acquired from Exeter by Wellington Rotary Club and installed at the monument in 1985. Given to the National Trust. Barbara Jones, Follies & Grottoes, Constable (1974), 385.

I think that his name was James (this is listed in Somerset North) but he had a curious habit of changing his first name! The link to Millfield is through Ralph Clark who was a governor - he, Ray Moxley and Jimmy Leask were all in the Marine Commandos (I think) together. If you need to check this, I can ask Ralph Clark (who still lives at Hill House, Street)!

PARRY, JAMES Cardiff. Architect. Possibly James Parry of Builth who was advertising in Hereford Journal in 1788 for masons prepared to work in Carms and Brec; inf Tom Lloyd: ‘In Holden’s Directory of the UK 1811 James Parry is listed under Cardiff as a builder. Lewis Topographical Dictionary: ‘The town (Cardiff) is situated . . on the eastern bank of the river Taf, over which it has a handsome stone bridge of three arches, with two smaller land arches to carry off the water in floods, which are here very violent, and by which two unfinished bridges from the designs of the same architect Mr Parry had previously been destroyed. The site of the present structure, which was finished in 1796, has been judiciously selected, and the new entrance which it has opened to the town is among the principal recent improvements.’ Other sources name Parry as the architect also. It was a big graceful bridge, as appears in engravings etc, but of course replaced in the late C19’. Gloucester Journal 29.8.1796 refers to inquiry set up by justices at QS into present state of the new erected bridge at Cardiff and the accounts of Mr James Parry, the architect;

Parry may have moved to Bridgwater, see James Parry of Bridgwater.

GE or GT Robinson:

Just checking through some of my notes and found that I had taken transcipts of some of the correspondence on file at Lambeth Palace- I do not appear to have looked at the original plans (to confirm whether it is signed GT or GE Robinson) but have noted the following: Letter dated 7 Feb 1862, addressed from Lovington, states "Mr Robinson, who drew the plans for Lovington Church, has left his office in Cardiff for a short visit, somewhere in Lincolnshire......". There is then a letter from Grantham (8 Feb 1862) signed George E(?) Robinson- the ? in my notes suggests I thought it was an "E" but was not sure. There is then some notes dated 13 March (1863?) "....Mr Paull....... It appeared that his late partner had drawn out the plans without consulting him......". The case for/against GE Robinson: I have him as born 1839 Broughton Lincs, 1868 Duke St London SW (Felstead 1993), c1873-1882 17 Church St Cardiff, 1884-5 Duke St Cardiff, 1886-1894 32 St Mary St and then various addresses in Cardiff until 1913 (Winn, disertation 1991).

Interestingly I also found on Glamorgan Cricket website: Full name: George Edward Robinson Born 1836, Broughton, Lincs, Wicket-keeper Clubs: Cardiff CC. Biography: Architect and surveyor. Teams: East Glamorgan (Miscellaneous: 1868); Glamorganshire (Miscellaneous: 1870-1875)

So we cannot be sure if GER was in Cardiff in 1862, but he does have a connection with Lincs (I cannot actually find a Broughton in Lincs to know if it is near Grantham) ...

The case for/against GT Robinson: GTR was a pupil of Hamilton & Medland, Gloucester, but set up in practice in 1848 (Felstead), whereas Paull was articled to Hamilton & Medland from 1848, so they may have met there. HJP entered the architectural competition for Longton Market in March 1861 along with RC Sutton of Nottingham, as did a GL Robinson of Leamington (presumably GTR who did a lot of work around the Midlands at his time, and in 1862 was in Leamington and consulting architect to the Church Extension Soc for Archdeaconry of Coventry) - so they might have met again there. HJP and GTR later went into practice together in Manchester around 1867.

Church Plans online (Lambeth Palace) suggests Lovington is HJP and GTR, but this might just be an assumption based on the fact that they were later in partnership together. So it could still be either!!!

I wrote to EH in Jan 2011 about this as the listing gives Ponting as architect. I asked them for their source but haven’t heard from them. Pevsner gives no name which seems odd.

SILLEY, GEORGE MICHAEL. Architect to Wilts & Dorset Bank, 17 Craven St, London. Cf RIBAJ 7.11.1908 32 article on John Gibson by SF Clarkson: born 1843, four years from 1863 with Habershon & Pite qv, principal assistant to John Gibson qv 1869-73, won competition for Wilts & Dorset Bank branch in Bath, 1873, left Gibson for private practice and 'has since acted as architect for that bank (W&D), having built or altered most of their numerous premises'. Also designed St Paul church and vicarage, Harringay, London, and 'numbers of other buildings'; Percival G Silley qv presumably a son or relation, practised from same address in 1920s;

Lloyds archives: I can confirm there was an architect George M Silley, who designed Shepton Mallet branch in 1877 and Corn Street, Bristol in 1880 for Wilts & Dorset Bank (this branch merged with the Lloyds branch at 55 Corn Street in 1918). Also, according to our records, Wilts & Dorset Bank opened a branch at 3 High Street Glastonbury in 1864. The building was next door to the George & Pilgrim Inn and incorporated some fine stone carving, including a frieze of animals and gargoyles. This Gothic style was not like the usual designs chosen by the bank for its buildings. In 1914 Wilts & Dorset was absorbed by Lloyds Bank.

Dennis Tabert there c1959-65; Richard Samuel architect, later in private practice with HBS qv; John Williams there from 1949, mechanical and electrical services, became chief engineer; G Michael Morris architect there from 1960s;

Under Bernard Adams the Method system of building instituted 1964-6 similar to CLASP and SCOLA, Jeff Sneasby of Acland Baron Smith consultant, had been with Vic Hallam Ltd qv the prefabricated-building firm much involved with schools in late 50s and early 1960s (John Foden does not remember Sneasby, but John Rice was the Vic Hallam architect). First pilot scheme was at SCAT, Taunton. Method was used by a string of councils inc Cornwall, Devon, Wilts, Berks, Oxon, Northants, and ?Leeds (JF does not remember Leeds: ‘Havering & Northants were associate members of the Method Consortium. Wilts and Bristol was also full members). Bernard Adams wanted Method to be a philosophy, different to CLASP or SCOLA system building methods used by other local authorities e.g. Hants was a SCOLA authority, repeated same design over several sites, overthrew it when Colin Stansfield–Smith came in as County Architect there in 1974. Method used a 300mm grid where other systems used a 600mm or 900mm, no interchangeable products between the systems. Geoff Fullman head of Method team later went to Wilts. Method system could be put to frame and load-bearing structures. Canonsgrove Police Houses, Trull was Method building, two-storey by Michael Morris, since spoilt; so was Glastonbury Heath Centre, by John Foden & Peter Cooke, 1969.

JD: METHOD A few words about Method Building. Very much the creation of Bernard Adams which he brought to Somerset for its launch, working closely with Martin Kenchington and in collaboration with Jenkins and Potter Consulting Engineers.

Geoff Fullman led a small design team from early days of around 63-64. John Foster Turner in the group. Early Method was imperial and based on 12" grid. The design aim to achieve a wide vocabulary of structure and material choice and dimension. As more LAs joined and with the conversion to metric around 1970, a Central Team established in Taunton led by Brian Macmillan. A full size 'design rig' built at SCAT to illustrate the wide vocabulary of metric method. As the costs of financing the central team were challenged and changing attitudes to architecture, Method was wound up in around 1982.
