Colin Amery

our new President

When Mary Lutyens died the Trustees and the Architectural Advisors of the Lutyens Trust were unanimous in wanting Colin Amery to succeed her as President. To our delight he has accepted.

No-one could be better qualified. In 1981-2 he was Chairman of the Organising Committee of the Lutyens Arts Council Exhibition which more than anything else brought Lutyens’s reputation out of its long eclipse. He and Margaret Richardson wrote the Catalogue which is still the fullest and most accurate source of information on Lutyens’s buildings. He went on to be the first Chairman of the Lutyens Trust from 1984-93.

The list of his appointments in Who’s Who read like a roll call of all the architectural and conservation bodies in England and he is now Special Advisor to the World Monuments Fund in Britain, Trustee of the Architectural Heritage Fund, on the Architectural panel of the National Trust and Architectural Consultant to Sainsbury plc. From 1979-1999 he was Architectural Correspondent to the Financial Times.

We are pleased and flattered that someone so distinguished in the architectural world should be our President and we welcome him warmly.
