About the event

The Georgian Group and Buxton Talk
The Georgian Group and Buxton Talk


A look at The Georgian Group’s origins, from eccentric founders to early preservation campaigns, and its modern role protecting historic buildings across the UK, including Derbyshire.


The Georgian Group is an English and Welsh conservation organisation created to campaign for the preservation of historic buildings and planned landscapes of the 18th and early 19th centuries. The talk will provide a brief history of the foundation of the Group in 1937 and the often eccentric figures behind its early campaigns who included Sir John Betjeman and Osbert Sitwell of Renishaw Hall.

The Group’s early role in campaigning for the preservation of threatened Georgian buildings in London and elsewhere will also be highlighted.

The second half of the talk will cover its present role as a statutory consultee in the planning process and the wide variety of cases it becomes involved with today including many in Derbyshire.
