Biography
Timothy Brittain-Catlin is an architect and architectural historian who has been teaching for many years. After more than a decade working in Britain and abroad on both historic buildings and masterplanning, he returned to Cambridge in 2000 to research the buildings of A.W.N. Pugin and the domestic architecture of early Victorian England. His book The English Parsonage in the Early Nineteenth Century was published in 2008 and since then he has published widely on houses and churches, as well as critiques in the Architectural Review, Architecture Today and many other magazines and journals.
While at the University of Kent from 2007-2020 he twice won the Faculty of Humanities teaching award for innovative and effective team teaching. In 2020 he published The Edwardians and their Houses, the first radical appraisal of the subject for 40 years. He is a member of Historic England’s national Advisory Committee.
