- Title: Within Walls
- Date: 19th October 1993
- Summary: EX-PRISONER, PETER WAYNE, HAS SAID THAT HIS LIFE "HAS BEEN A RITE OF PASSAGE, COMING THROUGH DARKNESS INTO THE LIGHT". WHILE ON THE RUN FROM A SENTENCE FOR ARMED ROBBERY, WAYNE CAME ACROSS THAT EIGHTEENTH CENTURY, ARCHITECTURAL JEWEL, ST. PAUL'S, DEPTFORD. WHAT FOLLOWED WAS AN INTELLECTUAL CONVERSION, AS HE ATTEMPTED TO UNDERSTAND AND THEN ARTICULATE WHAT HE HAD SEEN. AFTER HIS RE-CAPTURE AND FROM THE CONFINES OF A PRISON CELL, HE STARTED TO WRITE THE FIRST FULL-LENGTH BIOGRAPHY OF ITS DISTINGUISHED ARCHITECT, THOMAS ARCHER. THE DISTINCTLY FUNCTIONAL APPEARANCE OF LONG LARTIN HIGH SECURITY PRISON SEEMS AN UNLIKELY STARTING POINT FOR A PERSPECTIVE ON THE ENGLISH BAROQUE, BUT THIS SUMMER PETER WAS RELEASED ON LICENCE FOR A FEW DAYS, IN THE COMPANY OF A SUPPORTIVE PRISON OFFICER, TO LOOK AT ARCHER BUILDINGS WHICH HE HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
- Description:FOR WITHOUT WALLS - THE WORLDS LEADING EXPERT ON THE ARCHITECT THOMAS ARCHER IS LET OUT OF PRISON FOR A WEEKEND.
