		Summerson joined the National Buildings Record in 1941, an initiative to document the buildings in London before the blitz destroyed them.
		When Summerson was appointed curator of Sir John Soane's Museum in Lincoln's Inn Fields in 1945, he hired Stroud as "inspectress," a position created in the original charter of the museum.
		Her book on John Soane, a monograph Summerson himself was never able to write, appeared in 1986.

	Georgian London
		Summerson examines the way in which building was conditioned by social, economic, and financial circumstances and discusses some of Britain’s most important buildings and their architects.
		While Summerson’s text is essentially unchanged in this edition, it has been corrected in the light of new research, expanded to include a few significant buildings that were originally overlooked, and enhanced with new illustrations.
		Sir John Summerson (1904–1992) was the curator of Sir John Soane’s Museum in London for almost forty years, simultaneously teaching the history of architecture at the Architectural Association in London and at Birkbeck College, University of London.

	St John's Wood Society
		John’s Wood was once part of the Great Forest of Middlesex.
		A second, smaller estate, lying alongside the Edgware Road, had been acquired by John Lyon in 1574: the estate was later bequeathed by him to his foundation, Harrow School, on trust to maintain the roads between London and Harrow in good repair.
		It was a unique pattern of development: as the renowned architectural historian, Sir John Summerson wrote: “It was the first part of London, and indeed of any other town, to abandon the terrace house for the semi-detached villa – a revolution of striking significance and far-reaching effect”.

	John Summerson Books - Signed, used, new, out-of-print
		In this remarkable book, John Summerson interprets architecture as a reflection of the age in which it flowers, and traces the alternating themes of fantasy and functionalism as exemplified in various styles and in the works of a number of influential men including Wren, Viollet-le-Duc, Butterfield, and Le Corbusier.
		The first half of the eighteenth century was pervaded by the spirit of the Baroque, epitomized most completely in palaces and churches: Schonbrunn in Vienna, the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, the dazzling theatrical churches and...
		John Nash -- architect, town-planner, landscape designer, bridge-builder, engineer and entrepreneur -- was born in 1752 and died in 1835, outliving his principal patron, George IV, by five years.

		I'm sure this is the right Lizzie Summerson as I must have been around 2 when she died, I of course never knew her but she gave me a Post Office Certificate when I was born and I just cashed it in a few years ago.
		I'm afraid I'm not much help to you - I wonder if anyone looking at the site knows Jenny Summerson and where she lives, she's the one with the information you need no doubt.

	American Architectural Foundation
		Sir John Soane, R.A. was an English architect of significance influence during the last quarter of the 18th century and early 19th century.
		“Just as Sir John Soane benefited from a traveling scholarship to Italy early in his career, we hope the study of his work in England will inspire a new generation of architects and design students,” said Ronald E Bogle, President and CEO of the American Architectural Foundation.
		Last year’s fellowship award went to Bryan Boyer, an architecture student at Harvard Graduate School of Design, who researched an unpublished manuscript by Sir John Summerson to research the architectural details of the back of the Soane house.

		In fact, we learn considerably less about this individual in his concreteness than we do about Esther Summerson.
		And since he is even more purely, or at least more maturely, good than Esther is, we find ourselves nagged by another question: Can any human being be as faultless, as sensible, capable, self-controlled, and completely benevolent as John Jarndyce?
		Perhaps he is not quite flawless, not completely godlike; he does, once in a great while, make a slight mistake, and sometimes he becomes worried or upset ("the wind is from the east").

		Based on Summerson's radio lectures, this book has itself reached the status of being a classic!
		I was introduced to this classic work in a course on Michelangelo by John Shearman at Harvard, and I'm writing this review because I'm convinced this book deserves wider distribution.
		It's essentially an illustrated compilation of a series of lectures Summerson gave at university in England.
