NOTES: The new parliamentary building at Bonn has been designed as a series of glazed pavilions dispersed on sloping terraces stepping down to the Rhine. The complex also incorporates some older structures; a 1930s building by Witte and a 1960s office tower by Egon Eiermann.

The Guildhall was built in 1932-1936. The murals by Frank Brangwyn seen here were originally intended for the House of Lords at the Palace of Westminster. Brangwyn depicted a 'synthetic panorama of the beauty of Greater Britain'. The panels though were rejected by the House of Lords, after being exhibited at the Ideal Home exhibition of 1933, they were acquired by Swansea. The panels date from the late 1920s to the early 1930s.

NOTES: The church was designed by E. S. Prior and A. Randall Wells, who had been Lethaby's Clerk of Works at Brockhampton (1904). Many of the fixtures and fittings are by Ernest Gimson, notably the oak panelled chancel and the oak choir stalls. The ceiling of the chancel wasn't painted until 1927, by Macdonald Gill, restored 1967 by Maurice Partland, the design of its theme is the Creation. The tapestry depicts the visit of the Three Wise Men and is a copy of a painting by Burne-Jone made by Morris & Co for the church. See RIBA155486 for a colour version of this image.
