IN PERSON: Autumn Lecture Series 2023: Cachemaille-Day: Unconscious Monumentality in the Suburbs - Clare Price

Thursday 2 November  at 6.30 pm 

The Gallery, 70 Cowcross Street, London EC1M 6E  

Cachemaille-Day was the greatest parish church designer of the interwar period. Built for posterity, his churches are monuments in their suburban setting. Cachemaille-Day’s priority was the provision of spaces that worked for local communities, fulfilling a need for buildings to represent 'their social, ceremonial and community life'. This talk will explore how he designed landmark buildings in (arguably) unpromising surroundings to achieve this.

Clare Price is Head of Casework at the Twentieth Century Society and holds a DPhil from the University of Oxford for which she researched inter-war period church design. Recent publications include co-editing 100 Churches 100 Years (2019) with Elain Harwood and Susannah Charlton; and chapters in Re-construction (2023, ed. N. Shasore and J. Kelly); Holy Houses: Twentieth Century Architecture 14 (2023, ed. E. Harwood and A. Powers); Chancel Screens since the Reformation (2020, ed. M. Kirby) and Places of Worship in England and Wales 1929-1979 (forthcoming 2024, ed. P. Barnwell and A. Doig).'
