Foreword
John Seymour Lindsay was not only an artist, but a great designer and model maker. The Family Archives have yielded unpublished details of his major works which I now share with you.
The Lindsay family archive has lain dormant since his death in 1966. Only in the last few years has it been possible to examine his heritage in detail and the documents and artwork that emerged has painted a picture of a quite extraordinary man, with quite extraordinary talents.
He worked with the great architects of the twentieth century and perhaps his crowning glories were the acceptance of his design for the new Battle of Britain Chapel in Westminster Abbey, and the work he produced for the Kitchens of Hampton Court Palace, both of which are detailed in this book.
Lastly, he was an inveterate model maker with huge skills constructing boats, theatres, engines, dolls houses, trains and street scenes.
Read his entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, which can be found at the end of this book. Here you will be convinced that he was a true polymath.
