Judith Merrill: ‘A F Scott: the individualist and his architecture’
Architect A F Scott (1854–1936) designed from the traditional to reinforced concrete. King’s Lynn has one of a very few pre-First World War surviving buildings using reinforced concrete at 33–39 St James Street. The Victorian Society consider this A F Scott building to be of European importance. His great-granddaughter will explain how his religious beliefs, independent travels and fantastic knowledge of structural engineering informed his work in Norfolk and beyond.

Drawing King’s Lynn with Izzy Wingham
Artist Izzy Wingham’s work is inspired by the rich history of Norfolk, in particular the town of King’s Lynn. Izzy has recently published an illustrated book depicting some familiar buildings and lesser known corners of the town. Old heritage sites such as Castle Acre are favourite places to draw – abbeys and ruins; places of quiet, full of memories of the past.
Izzy exhibits regularly throughout the year with the West Norfolk Artists Association. In 2019, she had the amazing opportunity of taking part in Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year.
