Kathryn Ferry gave us a talk on bungalows. This illuminating and very interesting talk threw a brand new light onto a ubiquitous building type. She told the story of how wealthy Victorians adopted the Indian-inspired bungalow as a Bohemian type of second home, inspiring a fashion for single-storey dwellings throughout society.

If you thought you knew all about bungalows, think again.

For those who want to delve deeper, Kathryn has written a book about bungalows: a Kindle version is available on Amazon.

Thanks again Kathryn, for a fascinating talk!
