Correspondence about submissions and arrangements for judging

In November 1944 the Council of the RSA was invited by the Bishop of Columbo, as chairman of the Columbo New Cathedral Committee to act as the agent in London for his committee in organising a competition open to qualified members of the Royal Institute of British Architects or allied bodies, for a design for the projected new Anglican Cathedral in Columbo. The Council agreed to sponsor the competition and arranged that it should be administered by the Committee of the Dominions and Colonies Section, under the Chairmanship of Sir Harry Lindsay. The choice of Sir Giles Gilbert Scott as Assessor had been arranged with the Royal Institute of British Architects.\n\nAmong the correspondence is the conditions of the competition, names and addresses of competitors, administrative correspondence, the Assessors final report and site plans of the cathedral.
