‘Praiseworthy for his Building’: The Architecture of Richard III

Considered by many to be a problematic and divisive character, Richard III has certainly been the focus of much historical debate. Whilst this lecture does not attempt to answer questions regarding the morality or legitimacy of his reign, it does offer an overlooked perspective of Richard’s life – his achievements as an architectural patron. By considering his building projects at sites including Middleham, Warwick and Sudeley this study looks at the context of his sacred and secular architecture in late mediaeval England.
