Put Forward

Barn Hall, Thorpeness, Suffolk; devised by Glencairn Stuart Ogilvie with architects Forbes Glennie and W Gilmore Wilson, begun 1909, Barn Hall 1926, unlisted but conservation area

We have requested that this important context building be listed at Grade II. See casework report.

Desert Quartet, Montague Centre, Worthing, Sussex; Dame Elisabeth Frink, 1989

C20, together with the Public Monuments and ScuLptures Society, (PMSA),have put the Frink heads and the Loggia on which they sit, forward to EH for Grade II*. Getting them listed would be a major achievement as there are currently no sculptures this young listed at that grade.

K8 Telephone Boxes, Four Sites in Swindon, Wiltshire; Bruce Martin, 1968

We used the four boxes seen on a site visit to Swindon as the basis for our listing application to save the remaining 13 that BT currently has on its books. There do seem to be more and we will make a judgement about forwarding them for consideration in due course. See casework report.

Stonecrop, Campden Hill, Ilmington, Warwickshire, West Midlands; Robert Harvey, 1955-7

This house, the architect’s own until recently was put forward in response to unsympathetic development proposals which would have seen the footprinted virtually doubled. Featured in Louise Campbell’s essay in Twentieth Century Architecture 4, Post-War Houses, Harvey’s houses are both elegant and subtle. Stonecrop is perhaps his finest all-round achievement and we continue to stress the importance and urgency of this application.

Inner Court, Old Church Street, Kensington, London; Joseph Rykwert, 1971

The only surviving building by Professor Rykwert, Inner Court is still under threat from Foster Associates, who want to knock down both it and the adjacent Victorian school building for luxury flats. See casework report.
