Architecture
Outdoor meetings range from town walkabouts to studying an individual building, with occasional visits farther afield.
The group has visited Whitchurch Silk Mill, the Milestones Museum in Basingstoke, South Coast Roofing in Littlehampton and the Green Oak Carpentry Company.
When the weather is less appealing, indoor meetings take the form of illustrated talks of general architectural interest.
Our group leader is Malcolm Hutchings. Malcolm is a Fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors now retired from private practice. He has mainly been involved with domestic properties, specialising in older and Listed Buildings, and served for a number of years on the Management Committee of the RICS Conservation Group. He also co-authored a book on the surveying of Timber Framed Buildings.

u3a High Street Project
In 2020 Midhurst u3a’s Architecture Group participated in a national u3a project gathering photos and information about our local shopping streets. This is a record of changes that are happening around us, some quickly, and some less immediately obvious. What will the emerging trends be as time passes? Currently the number of images uploaded to u3a High Street Project stands at 24,700. The interactive map shows the exact location of many premises and the approximate location of most. Contact Malcolm Hutchings, Architecture group leader, for more information.
