A zoom from Kit Wedd, a trustee of the Victorian Society, and Education Officer. She will show how the domestic services we take for granted today – clean water, mains sewerage, heating, lighting, and kitchen appliances – were introduced into the Victorian home, and how their development was driven by changes in technology, the law and wider society.

 Kit has campaigned to encourage the conservation of ‘ordinary’ Victorian and Edwardian houses. She has written and edited many books and articles on nineteenth century houses, and is the author of The Victorian Society Book of the Victorian House and The Victorian Bathroom Catalogue. In 2017 Kit founded the historic environment consultancy Spurstone Heritage Ltd.

Society Members will be sent an invitation to join the zoom. If you are not a member and would like to join us, please contact the office.
