BD writes:<\/p>\n

A school library designed by Colin St John Wilson while he was working on the British Library has been given grade II protection.<\/p>\n

The architect, known as Sandy, designed Bishop Wilson Memorial Library in Essex in honour of his father. Henry Wilson was bishop of Chelmsford from 1929 to 1950.<\/p>\n

The listing was approved by the DCMS on the advice of Historic England which described the library as a \u2018gloriously vibrant and fun interior inside a striking circular structure\u2019 and \u2018perhaps the most successful example of post-modernism in post-war school design\u2019\u2026.<\/p>\n

The library was built between 1983-86 at the Bishop\u2019s Church of England and Roman Catholic Primary School which was established to provide education for a growing population in the north-east of Chelmsford during the 1980s.<\/p>\n

It is one of a number of library designs in which Wilson and his partner MJ Long came to specialise.<\/p>\n
