Unveiling of a Civic Society Blue Plaque to George Hunt [1892-1960] – Invitation Only

On Thursday 21 December, 1 – 2.30pm we will be unveiling a Blue Plaque to George Hunt at St Peter’s Church Hall, Harborne. George Edward Hunt was a leading Arts and Crafts jewellery designer and maker who lived in Bull Street Harborne and had a studio in his garden. He is buried in St Peter’s churchyard, and 2017 is 125 years since his death.

He was nominated for a Blue Plaque by Philippa Russell, a local resident and an admirer of his work. We will be joined by Philippa for the unveiling, and hopefully the Lord Mayor, members of the Harborne Society, members of St Peter’s congregation, and the current and previous owners of his home in Bull Street, where the plaque will ultimately be installed.

Please note this is an invitation only event.
