Alongside English Heritage and other partners, Dr Peter Forsaith and Tom Dobson of the OCMCH are leading on a project to celebrate the centenary of Seely and Paget, architects. From the 1920s to the 1960s, the partnership of John Seely (later 2nd Baron Mottistone) and Paul Paget was notable for their close personal relationship as well as for their architectural work. Their melding of traditional and new styles and materials was already becoming unfashionable at the time, and was eclipsed by the modernity of the 1960s onwards. This work is now being re-evaluated, however, including viewing them as early practitioners of conservation architecture. 2026 marks the 100th anniversary of the partnership’s registration with R.I.B.A., and will be a focal point for many of the project’s outcomes.
