Abstract: |
This guide looks at buildings of all types provided to facilitate education, from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century. Education stimulated some of the country’s finest architecture, ranging from the medieval universities to post-war primary schools. Many schools were built in response to the successive Education Acts of 1870 and later, and embody in physical form developing ideas on education, and child welfare more generally. At times, such as in the years after the Second World War, it was school building which earned Britain greatest international acclaim, and its universities contain some of the best works of the leading architects of the day.
