===Historical styles in the 20th century===
The last great exponent of late Victorian free Renaissance eclecticism was [[Edwin Lutyens]], and his shift into the Classical mode after 1900 symbolised a wider retreat from the stylistic ferment of the 19th century to a plain and homogenous Classicism based on Georgian exemplars, an approach followed by many architects of the early 20th century, notably [[Herbert Baker]] and [[Reginald Blomfield]]. This Neo-Georgian manner, while not greatly favoured in later decades by the architectural profession or architecture critics, has remained popular with clients and conservative commentators, notably [[Charles, Prince of Wales]]. Domestic architecture throughout the 20th century and beyond has continued to be strongly influenced by a homogenised version of Victorian vernacular revival styles. Some architects responded to modernism, and economic circumstances, by producing stripped-down versions of traditional styles; the work of [[Giles Gilbert Scott]] illustrates this well.
