F. X. Velarde by Dominic Wilkinson
Notable undiscovered architects, like undiscovered composers, are implausible, yet Frances Xavier Velarde OBE, 1897-1960, could be just such a person hiding in plain sight.
‘Wilkinson and Crompton’s book is an extremely satisfying and interesting read, balancing details of architectural interest with biographical, and covering substantial ground in giving social, historical and liturgical contexts'
Laura Moffatt, Art and Christianity
'This affectionate biography, much informed by [Velarde's] family, paints a picture of a dapper figure.'

‘The authors are to be heartily thanked for bringing this overlooked architect to a wider audience… written with verve, understanding and sensitivity… an essential book for anyone interested in twentieth-century architecture full-stop, and not just church architecture.’ Julian Holder, Ecclesiology Today
