Architect. Born Eton. Specialised in churches and worked in an Arts and Crafts style of Gothic. His major work is Holy Trinity, Sloane Square but this dedicated website lists 6 other churches in London. He died suddenly in Somerset, where he was restoring a church. His wife died a few days later (of grief, is the suggestion).
