About the Guildford Society
The Guildford Society has been an active voice speaking up for their town and its surrounding countryside and villages for over a century. They value built heritage and the natural environment and seek to ensure that new development adds to its richness and quality while preserving what is precious.
As pressures for development increase, the Society’s commitment to encourage good design and conservation remains vital to the well-being of the town. They recognise the importance of good contemporary design in perpetuating the quality of the built environment and they hope that during the tour, they might be able to point out a few of the more successful examples.
They appreciate the skills and dedication of all who are involved with building conservation and are delighted to welcome the RIBA South Conservation Group, together with John Bailey, Adam Heike, and Alistair Piper. They are very grateful to the speakers for being so willing to share their expertise.
