Architect and artist. Born Thomas Affleck Greeves. Studied at the Cambridge School of Architecture, but never actually designed any functional buildings. Instead he produced a series of fantastical designs of Victorian buildings. Co-founded the Bedford Park Society for the preservation of buildings in West London. We can't find a photograph of him, so have used his drawing called 'The Shed'.
