A talk by Kevin Eames
Charles Edwin Ponting (1850-1932) was a Gothic Revival architect who practised in Marlborough, Wiltshire. In 1883 the Diocese of Salisbury appointed Ponting Surveyor of Ecclesiastical Dilapidations for the Archdeaconry of Wiltshire. Part of the Diocese of Bristol was added to his responsibilities in 1887 and the Diocese of Salisbury added the Archdeaconry of Dorset to his duties in 1892. He thus is responsible for extending or renovating numerous Wiltshire churches. Kevin will explore examples of his works.
