English Regency Architecture describes the elegant architectural style associated with the Regency period (1811--1820), although its influence extended well beyond those dates. Building upon Georgian classicism, Regency architecture introduced greater refinement, decorative ironwork, stucco façades, sweeping crescents and Greek-inspired detailing. It is particularly associated with architects such as John Nash and the development of fashionable spa towns and seaside resorts. *Related Terms*\ Georgian Architecture, John Nash, Neo-Classicism, Regency, Stucco.
