In looking up about Ernö Goldfinger the day before yesterday, it caught my eye that he had stayed with the Terrys during the war. I wondered if this was anything to do with Quinlan Terry and indeed it was. His parents were friends of the Goldfingers and on the outbreak of war they stayed in a house designed by Lubetkin in the grounds of Whipsnade Zoo. I like the idea of the middle-aged Hungarian and the earnest schoolboy proto-classicist in amongst the elephants.

Extraordinary link ! How did Quinlan Terry turn into the Classicist that he became?
He rebelled against the agnosticism of his liberal parents and studied classicism with a group who called themselves the Flower Pot Crew at the Architectural Association (same year as Richard Rogers). Charles
