Victorian Architecture on Parkgate Road, University of Chester
University of Chester Chapel, Parkgate Road, Chester, Cheshire, CH1 4BJ
An introduction to two of Parkgate Road’s most beautiful Victorian buildings, this illustrated talk and tour explores the visual language of Victorian Architecture. By comparing the University Chapel, a religious building, and the John Douglas designed Vicarage, a domestic one, it’s possible to explore Victorian social attitudes, and why a technologically advanced society looked back to the medieval era for inspiration.
