A brand new biography of Hampstead Garden Suburb architect Geoffry Lucas has just been published by the Trust.
Geoffry Lucas designed some 40 Suburb houses, as well as others at Hitchin, Letchworth, and further afield. He was also a respected writer and speaker on the subjects of ecclesiastical architecture, and his illustrations and essays were published widely.
He is celebrated on the Suburb not just through individual houses but also in the naming of some of his works as at Lucas Crescent on Willifield Way, and Lucas Square on Hampstead Way.
This new 5,000-word illustrated essay on Geoffry Lucas has been researched and written by architectural historian Jacqueline Barnett, and is available now on the Trust website.
The new Lucas biography joins others available on our website on the likes of Crickmer, Sutcliffe and Butler, and we hope to add more over time.
