Andrew Ziminski – A Life in Ruins, Friday 4 September 7.30pm, Tintern Village Hall, doors open 7pm.
In his forty-year career, stonemason and writer Andrew Ziminski has worked on many of our greatest monuments. From the sacred – Neolithic monoliths, Roman temples, small parish churches and cathedrals – to the industrial, the engine houses, mills and aqueducts of the Industrial Revolution and beyond. Part archaeological history and part deeply personal insight into an ancient craft, Andrew’s talk will reveal his favourite projects – those historical buildings that inform our landscape and link the past to the present.
Andrew Ziminski is a former SPAB Trustee and a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries. His first book The Stonemason was critically acclaimed. His latest title Church Going was a 2025 ‘Book of the Year’ in The Times, The Telegraph, The Church Times, and BBC History Magazine.
This talk is a must for anyone interested in the architecture and craftsmanship of the past.
