HOW THE TWENTYMAN PROJECT BEGAN

In January 2019 Aidan Ridyard presented a short talk about the Churches of Richard Twentyman at the C20th Society (West Midlands) "Architecture Slam" event. Chris Kennedy was in the audience and had also been researching Twentyman's Churches. Over a friendly chat a shared passion was recognised and a project was born!

 

Four years later, Aidan and Chris still collaborating and the project has gone from strength to strength, with new stories and discoveries regularly coming to light. Our efforts have been greatly assisted by many fellow enthusiasts, however we should single out John East, whose photography has brought the churches to life. 

 

We hope to be able to use this site to share our enthusiasm for Twentyman's work and to increase awareness of his unique contribution to England's mid-century architectural heritage.
