Much of Gloucestershire’s industrial heritage is directly attributable to the skill, ingenuity and inspiration of a gifted man and his son. So few people are aware of the Martyn family and what they gave to our County. This talks follows the life of Herbert Henry Martyn from his early life of poverty, in the back streets of Worcester, to the glory days, the founding of H.H. Martyn in Cheltenham, the Gloucester Aircraft Company and Dowty. See the wonderful works of art, created by talented local men, that adorn the stately buildings and ships of the world.
Our speaker, James Rendell, studied architecture in Cheltenham, practised for 20 years with Preece Payne Partnership (last project designing The Roses Theatre), served in the RAF as a Police Dog Handler, and founded a Fire Engineering consultancy advising on fire detection systems.
Cost per person including tea/coffee and cake: FoTW members £11, non-members £13
