Limeburners, Lords and Labourers

Richard has lived in Worthing almost all his life and has always been passionate about history and old buildings. This passion together with a realisation that much of the history of a building lies in its construction, led him to do a course at the University of Oxford studying Vernacular Architecture and by studying for a BA in Landscape Studies at the University of Sussex, graduating in 2011. He has written articles for a number of local and national publications and is currently contributing a regular feature on historic buildings for the West Sussex Gazette. His talk covers the economic importance of Lime, particularly in the 18th/19th centuries.
