The Collapse of Holyrood Abbey Church in 1768

Venue: St Andrew’s & St George’s West Church, 13 George Street, Edinburgh EH2 2PA.
Organiser: AHSS.
Dr Dimitris Theodossopoulos teaches conservation and architectural technology at the University of Edinburgh, and is also a civil engineer. He is particularly interested in the technical aspects of monuments and their preservation. His talk sheds light onto the collapse of Holyrood Abbey Church, following the puzzling substitution of decaying roof trusses with masonry walls in 1760.
