John Arthur NewmanFSA (born December 1936)[1][2] is an English architectural historian.[3] He is the author of several of the Pevsner Architectural Guides and is the advisory editor to the series.
Newman[4] was born in 1936, and has lived most of his life in Kent. He was educated at Dulwich College and Oxford University where he read Greats (classics). In 1959 he became a classics teacher at Tonbridge School. In 1963 he left his teaching post to study for a diploma in the history of European art at the Courtauld Institute of Art, which he passed with distinction. In 1966 he was appointed a full-time assistant lecturer at the Courtauld, where he taught until his retirement.[5][6][3]
While a student at the Courtauld, Newman acted as driver to Nikolaus Pevsner, while Pevsner was undertaking work on The Buildings of England series,[3] which has subsequently been expanded as the Pevsner Architectural Guides to cover Scotland, Wales and Ireland. Pevsner suggested that Newman should research and write the architectural guides on Kent, which were published in 1969.[5]Bridget Cherry, the general editor of the series, and author of a history of the project, describes Newman as the most significant of Pevsner's collaborators,[7] and Pevsner himself considered Newman's two volumes on Kent to be "the best of the whole series".[7] Since 1983, Newman has acted as the advisory editor to the series.[3]
