Thursday 16th April - Architecture of the Village - Malcolm Birdsall

This month our Speaker Meeting focusses on our village architecture. We are incredibly lucky to have a huge wealth of interesting buildings and sites which illustrate the long history of Addingham. Welcome to our speaker, Malcolm Birdsall. We are delighted that Malcolm returned to Addingham after living in the Midlands for a few years! He is a long-time member of the Society taking on various roles including that of Chair. He is a great historian and has an extensive knowledge of vernacular architecture. In the 1990s he worked closely with Kate Mason and Arnold Pacey on some of our early publications. This presentation will focus on some of the village’s historic buildings, some you may recognise, some may be new to you.
