The talk is about the architecture of nonconformist denominations in Somerset, looking at the chapels and meeting-houses of the Baptists, Congregationalists, Methodists, Quakers and Unitarians, showing what varied and fine buildings there are from the time of Queen Anne through the Georgian period to the Victorian heyday, and into the twentieth century.
