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 wrote the definitive guide to the Wills Memorial Building in 2003, and Redcliffe Press will be publishing her book on George Oatley in spring 2010.
