Charles Brooking is, in EOP’s opinion, is a national treasure.
Charles has been collecting architectural period details since he was 3 and has amassed a unique collection of England’s stylistic and technological developments in this area.
The thousands of examples of doors, windows, latches, pulleys, lead works, and joinery are dwarfed only by Charles’ encyclopedic knowledge of their styles, production, origins, makers, and exceptions.
The collection and Charles where dragged into the 21st century with the launch off his new website last month enabling wider access to this valuable resource.
