Flamboyant Victorian Architect Fothergill Watson was born in 1841 in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. Some of his earliest buildings were in the town. In this illustrated online talk Tour Guide and Art Historian, Lucy Brouwer will look at their history.

Before he moved to Nottingham, Fothergill Watson (who changed his name in 1892 to Watson Fothergill) had many connections in Mansfield and here he built houses, shops and the town's Cattle Market.

In this "Virtual Tour", Lucy - the creator of the popular Nottingham guided tour, Watson Fothergill Walk - will look at the surviving buildings and those that were demolished.

The talk should last about one hour, hopefully with time for a short Q&A at the end. The event will take place on Zoom.

Advanced booking is essential as places are limited.
