John Grundy (born 1946[1]) is a television presenter and author.
He was strongly influenced by reading Nikolaus Pevsner's Buildings of England series of architectural guides.
In the late 1980s he worked for the Historic Buildings and Monuments Commission for England,[2] before beginning a more public career as a writer and television presenter on architecture, especially that of Northern England.
[6] Between 1987 and 1996, Grundy appeared as a presenter on the BBC North East series, 'Townscape'.
Grundy's Northern Pride has been broadcast since 2007 in the Tyne Tees and Granada Television regions and covers the same area as Grundy's Wonders plus North West England.
