NOTES: Brian O'Rorke was appointed architect for the Royal National Theatre following the death of its previous designer, Sir Edwin Lutyens, in 1946. The mallet shown here was designed for the ceremonial laying of the theatre's cornerstone in 1951. However, shortly afterwards the project was delayed again and a new site chosen for the building. The theatre was eventually completed in 1976 to designs by Denys Lasdun & Partners.
