on 27 January 2022 a presentation was given to the some 47 members of Berkshire Family History Society about Georgian Reading. We thank them for their invitation and for being our guinea pigs as this was the first time the presentation had been delivered to a group as a talk.

The background to it is
In 2017 members of Reading Civic Society visited Bath to meet members of the Bath Preservation Trust and to wander around its terrific buildings.
Society member, Professor John Missenden, returned with a mission to show how good Reading’s Georgian buildings are by comparison, yet they are comparatively less well appreciated. He compiled a Power Point Presentation of images of Georgian Buildings in Reading.
In February 2018 John sent the presentation to the leading Classical Architect Quinlan Terry who commented that:
“I never knew it (Reading) had so many good buildings!”
