I have been reading Gill Hedley’s manuscript on Henry Flitcroft in advance of its publication. I found it fascinating how much can be discovered about a significant , but perhaps not earth-shattering architect who seems to have been successful not because he was in advance of taste, but precisely because he followed it and was able to provide fashionable architecture in a slightly cut-down fashion which very much appealed to his clients, but perhaps not to architectural historians. I recommend it.
