Sir George Oatley

Sir George Herbert Oatley (1863-1950) was Bristol's most significant twentieth-century architect. His buildings – many of which were designed for the University – transformed the face of the city. Although he achieved a measure of fame for his most well-known work, the Wills Memorial Building of 1925, today he is hardly known outside his home city.

Dr Sarah Whittingham has been researching George Oatley’s life and work for over ten years. She has written the definitive guide to the Wills Memorial Building and Redcliffe Press will be publishing her book on Oatley in 2008.
