'The Man Who Rebuilt Wessex' by Dr. Francis Burroughs

Back to Our community

Christchurch

Dorset Group

About the event

7.15pm to 9.30pm, Thursday 12 March 2026

You are invited to join the Dorset Group for another fascinating talk, this week by Dr. Francis Burroughs.

As an architect Benjamin Ferry (1810-1880) has been almost forgotten, yet in his time he was staggeringly successful, building and restoring more than 200 churches, houses and buildings in the West Country. His list of successes include the Corn Exchange in Dorchester.

Dr. Francis Burroughs promises to deliver an engaging picture of this man and his achievements in our local area and beyond.

All welcome.
