Architectural Patronage in an Age of Reform 1760-1840
For organisational reasons, the conference planned to be held at Lambeth Palace Library in 2018 had to be postponed. It is now scheduled for 18-19 September 2019.
This conference is supported by an AHRC Networking Grant, ‘Architecture and Society in an Age of Reform, 1760-1840’. The University of Liverpool would also like to acknowledge the support of Lambeth Palace Library and the Georgian Group.
