- **Event Name**: Piers Taylor – From Forest to Town: Tewkesbury's Architectural History
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 19 Jun, 2026 at 10:00 am – Fri, 19 Jun, 2026 at 11:00 am
- **Event Description**: This illustrated talk contextualises Tewkesbury’s remarkable collection of timber-framed buildings within a wider history of timber construction in England. Beginning with the medieval craft of carpentry, the talk explains how timber framing shaped towns, streets, and everyday life, linking buildings directly to forests, tools, and local skills.

Using Tewkesbury as a case study, the talk looks closely at how timber-framed buildings were made, adapted, repaired, and reused over centuries, and why so many survive today. These buildings are presented not simply as historic artefacts, but as living structures that reveal how towns grew and changed over time.

The talk then brings this tradition into the present, showing how timber construction is being reinterpreted through experimental contemporary projects at Hooke Park and Westonbirt Arboretum. Through workshops, community buildings, and exploratory student projects, timber is explored as a sustainable, adaptable material rooted in landscape and craft.

By connecting Tewkesbury’s historic buildings with current cutting edge architectural practice, the talk offers a fresh perspective on timber framing as a continuing tradition that still has much to teach us about building, place, and long-term care.
