Blunden Shadbolt had qualified both as an Architect and a Structural Engineer, so that during WWII, his time was almost entirely taken up in London where he was advising on the structural repair or demolition of buildings damaged by bombing, and when the war ended in 1945, he finally retired.

Did we miss something on diversity?

An architect who turned his dreams into delightful reality, Blunden Shadbolt was the most generous of men, to whom “having money” was simply not the most important thing in his life. His love of God and of Nature is reflected in the beauty of his buildings, and we are indeed fortunate that he left such a wonderful legacy in this south-eastern corner of England. Burbridge, George.
