He also writes (7 Dec 1846) ‘I have enclosed to you the Certificate of completion ... I did not get the Architect’s signature, as he gave up the entire superintendence of the work into my hands.’

1833 repairs, chapel clock tower, Bowood; David blissett: Cockerell’s tower repaired and the addition of a turret (wooden on cast-iron frame) above the clock. I am not 100% certain this was done by Barry but the balance of probability is that it was. (A note on the back of an account re this work states it was Barry’s).

1840 clock tower, Bowood, behind chapel; c1830-48 HC; suggested that chapel tower was built in wood by Barry in 1840 and replaced in stone in 1860; in the 1823 Buckler drawing chapel had a cupola on a square base with roundel each side (for clock?) the top with with columns and small dome, presumably by Cockerell qv; repaired by Barry in 1833; CL 22.6.1972 says cupola rebuilt by Barry in 1840, repaired in 1848, and rebuilt by him in present form in 1860; David Blissett agrees: a completely new, larger, wooden and plaster clock turret was built above the clock ‘cube’ (of c1821-2). It was prefabricated in London (hence date on slate clock dials being 1840 and a bell is also 1840). All completed about August 1840; new clock accounts, payments to Pearse & Guerrier, carpenters, of High Holborn;
1842 design for Lansdowne Monument, Cherhill dated 1.4.42, contract dated 14.4.1845; Bowood archives;
1844 Proposed clock tower, Bowood; D Blissett: Barry suggests a completely new clock tower. But nothing done other than Barry making design(s) – sketch dated 1844 at RIBA.
1848 Repairs clock tower Bowood; D Blissett: in Summer 1848 defective facing plaster was taken off and the work re-done in White’s Portland cement-based plaster. The defective plaster facing had no doubt caused some timbers to rot, which were now (1848) replaced. All is shown in George Kennedy’s water colour of 1851 and Adveno Brooks’ (1857) Gardens of England.
1842-4 Golden Gates, Bowood inf David Blissett: Barry’s first design for the gates was made in 1842. Work on executing Barry’s scheme began Spring 1843 and the project reached practical completion just before November 1844. Reeves’ bill for the shields is dated 9th August 1844; 1834-8, HC; 1834-57 WBR; two plaques Hebe and Iris on S side by Musgrave L Watson 1847 (IR from Art Union 1847 200), two armorial plaques on N by Reeves of Bath 1844 (IR from Bowood archives); CL 22.6.1972 says that designed after 1841 rejection of a neo-Byzantine design by TH Wyatt and exhibition in house suggests c1844 for undated design;

1860 tower over chapel, Bowood, CL 22.6.1972; replaced tower of 1840 in similar style as already failing by 1848; exhibition at house shows undated drawing and dates it 1840; David Blissett: clock tower of 1860 – what is there is an entirely new clock tower built in 1860; which is similar, but not exactly the same, as it was after the 1840 work. As it is stone (with some cement facing) it needed new brick walls (part of chapel walls) and iron girders (one of five and a half tons) to support it all. As the weather was terrible, having been started probably in May, the project took far longer to do than anticipated. Barry died in May 1860; probably building work was completed late September 1860. In November 1860, having been repaired in London, the 1840 clock was refitted with the three 1840 faces cleaned and regilded.

P Howell: There were indeed two Henry Cluttons. I remember getting into trouble over the church at Stanmore, which is by the 'other' one.

He was in partnership with his brother John, as surveyors, and that was the origin of the firm.

Darley and Provis both made fortunes out of the legal wrangling about Draycot House, in the Chancery cases between the last two Earls of Mornington. I could extract their court affidavits if you would like them, as they provide some biographical detail. I can’t remember now which one (Provis I think), but one made enough to send a son to art school and he ended up very comfortable indeed. I live in hope that his interior of a Mill painting will be the medieval mill at Draycot.

DEAN, JAMES Architect, Tottenham London;
1833 reblt Orcheston St Mary ch; ICBS: This hardly sounds like the same church as in BoE! Seems to have been rebuilt in 1833. A plan says quite clearly ‘Plan of the parish Church of Orcheston St Mary as rebuilt in the year 1833’. A signature on this is ’John Oxenberry Jane Surveyor’. But was he the designer? The application says the existing church had been examined by ‘an experienced Architect, Mr Dean of Holborn London’ [the Church Plans Online website gives his first name as James]. On a second application he is said to be from Tottenham, just to add to the puzzlement. The website gives Dean’s first name as James. The only James Dean in the RIBA Dic is ‘fl 1868’ and of Bishopsgate Street.

E-mail Peter Holland: We did indeed buy our house from Brian and Elizabeth Henderson. They bought the house from the Crown Estate in July 1985, having rented it for some time previously. I believe the house was in a poor state of repair when they first moved here but in 1979 they carried out a significant amount of repairs and restoration. Listed Building consent was granted in July 1979. I don’t believe that the Hendersons made any significant additions to the house – I believe that the works were mainly to replace the plumbing, wiring and upgrading the bathrooms, toilets and kitchens, as well as changing an internal doorway or two in the Victorian area;

Moved practice to 39 South St, Dorchester, Dorset, c1850 (before 1852). His older brother Rev James Hicks was curate then vicar of Piddletrenthide, vicar 1845-85. Thomas Hardy qv worked for him, articled 1856-9, paid assistant 1860-2, left for London 1862 to join Arthur Blomfield qv and returned as Hicks' assistant 1867-9. Hardy worked on St Peter, Dorchester, and designed capitals at Turnworth, 1868-9.

IRESON, NATHANIEL 1686-1769. Architect, builder, sculptor, potter. Came from Warws or Northants, at Ladbroke, Warws, 1711. Apprenticed to Francis Smith of Warwick, may have worked for T Archer at Hale, Hants, 1716, called NI of Coleshill in 1720 when he took on Matthew Percy as apprentice; from Warwickshire, moved to Stourhead, Wilts, as builder 1720, churchwarden Stourton 1722-3, then bought Windmill Fm, Wincanton, c1726, built Ireson House where he lived until death in 1769. Opened a quarry on his own land 1733, used clay for bricks and pottery. Pottery first mentioned 1739 made Delft-ware. Quarry mentioned 1741 when John Hacker mason killed there. Left Crases or Crosses House, Wincanton, to grand-daughter in will and tools to John Ireson; monument in Wincanton churchyard 1772, the statue reputedly carved by him well before his death and kept in his house. H St G Gray in SANHS 87 1941; list of works in G Sweetman, History of Wincanton, 1903, 209-11; died 18.4.69; Peter Fitzgerald, Nathaniel Ireson, 2016 has list of works (PF)

(1723ff work at Redlynch Park, Som, for Stephen Fox, later Lord Ilchester; Ireson first mentioned as paid in 1723 £29/10/0 for ‘securing Redlinch house from fire by taking out the beames in the chimneys’, probably repairs to C17 house to which Thomas Fort had made additions, DRO D/FSI box 207. The house of 1708-9 by Thomas Fort had remained unfinished when Sir Stephen Fox died 1716, and son Stephen born 1704 did not live there until 1725, beginning work on house 1727, presumably under NI.

1740s work at Stourhead; two letters from H Flitcroft qv to H Hoare 1744 are cited by Kenneth Wooldridge Art Bulletin 47 1965 83-116 quoted by FJL 38 n8;
1743-7 builder Lydiard Park, Lydiard Tregoze for John 2nd Viscount St John; NI was paid from 1741, traditionally ascribed to Roger Morris, though the only payment to 'R Morris' is £42 in 1744; letter of 1743 from St John: 'Ireson has left me the plans. He has made a handsome front with a rustic basement, attick windows above and to the cellars, architraves and keystones to the windows. He talks about £380 his work and for materials & all included'; PF says this does not resemble what was built, but that design is similar to Corsham Court by NI; PF suggests that pavilions have proved to be later addition and these are main resemblance to Morris at Wilton; perhaps an Ireson design with pavilions by Morris?; suggested that work began 1739 before John inherited title in 1742, c1741 complaints about being cheated by brickmakers, payments to NI April 1743 to Oct 1746, sketch for pediment on back of letter of 4.6.43; inscription in attic that house was rebuilt 1743 may mark stage in remodelling, ?roofs and refacing; more likely dates therefore 1739-43; later payments to do perhaps with finishing off;

1740 Oare House, Oare ( on style only, what do you think?) built for Henry Deacon, attrib PF, no evidence;
1743 to 47 Lydiard Tregoze. Ireson was clearly the builder but it seems to me he is just as likely to have been the architect as Roger Morris;
1749 North front of Corsham Court
1755 Delft tile Monument to Lucretia Corfe Amesbury Church
Also possibly a house on Bowden Hill for Benjamin Haskins Styles +1739, dismantled in 1740s if the Borromini style capitals on 12 Church St, Lacock, and Rowde Hall come from there. Rowde Hall has a dog crest which may be Haskins-Styles; Borromini capitals appear at Crowcombe Ct, Som, 1734,

Involved from 1869 with the rediscovery of St Laurence ch, Bradford on Avon Wilts (which he first saw after 1863 when working on Bath Abbey), the Saxon church, with Canon WHR Jones after Anglo-Saxon carvings found 1854 by Rev Jones with CE Davis qv. Trust formed 1874 to restore with JT Irvine appointed to supervise, but Jones also appointed CS Adye qv and Irvine resigned 1881 over Adye's decision to demolish master's house of former Grammar School (there 1712-1874) and substitute buttresses. See HM Taylor, JT Irvine's work at Bradford on Avon Archaeol J 129 1972 89-118. After Scott died in 1878 worked for JL Pearson qv before 1885 and then as architect in Peterborough; DSA.

JANE, JOHN OXENBERRY Surveyor
1833 inv rest Orcheston St Mary ch; G Brandwood from ICBS files: This hardly sounds like the same church as in BoE! Seems to have been rebuilt in 1833. A plan says quite clearly ‘Plan of the parish Church of Orcheston St Mary as rebuilt in the year 1833’. A signature on this is ’John Oxenberry Jane Surveyor’. But was he the designer? The application says the existing church had been examined by ‘an experienced Architect, Mr Dean of Holborn London’ [the Church Plans Online website gives his first name as James]. On a second application he is said to be from Tottenham, just to add to the puzzlement. The website gives Dean’s first name as James. The only James Dean in the RIBA Dic is ‘fl 1868’ and of Bishopsgate Street.

OATLEY, Sir GEORGE HERBERT. FRIBA Bristol. 1863-1950, orphaned 1865, brought up in Sandown IoW, apprenticed to Thomas Dashwood until 16, then Godwin & Crisp in Bristol c1881, partner of Henry Crisp (C&O) from c1889, Crisp died 1896. With GC Lawrence (O&L) his brother-in-law from 1901-26 and with RH Brentnall (O&B) 1947-50; much work for Wills family from c1910, and for Stuckeys bank; biog Sarah Whittingham 2011; knighted 1925, WG 5.6.25; lived at Church House, Clifton Hill; at Barton Rocks, Winscombe in 1928. cf Nonesuch, Autumn 1994, article by S Whittingham;
'The Oatley family came from Melksham, Wiltshire, where George’s grandfather, John (born 1787), was a blacksmith and farrier. His widowed grandmother Mary (1797-1891) and her six daughters (five unmarried and one a widow) lived in a seventeenth-century cottage, where Oatley later visited them during school holidays. They were Congregationalists, and some of Oatley’s aunts taught in the Sunday School. In the 1920s Oatley carried out small works to the chapel there, and in the 1930s he designed the town’s hospital (1934-40). In 1936 he wrote: ‘I am having considerable trouble with the Hospital Committee . . . . My inclination was to wash my hands of them a month or two ago, but for the sake of the old association of Melksham I have hung on.’.
Sarah W: The partnerships go: 1879 July, moves to Bristol, becomes assistant to J F Trew & Sons for three months, joins office of Henry Crisp;1884 becomes assistant to Crisp;1888 June, becomes Crisp’s partner; 1896 Crisp dies; 1902 January, George C Lawrence becomes partner;1936 Partnership with Lawrence dissolved;1947 Ralph Brentnall becomes partner
If there is 'Lawrence' in the description (as with Arnolds Hill), it indicates that it was more George Lawrence's job than Oatley's, but anything coming out of the office between 1902 and 1936 would be signed O&L.

1848 involved with restoring St Mary ch, Rodbourne Cheyney, Swindon; ICBS/ Geoff Brandwood: 1848 fine. Bit of a puzzle re the architect. TH Wyatt, reporting on the work then in progress in July 1848 says ‘no architect has been employed’ though he makes reference to a clerk of the works. It looks very much as though it’s a DIY job by the vicar the Rev. Henry T Streeter. The plan in the file says ‘Enlarged Restored & Repaired under the superintendence of the Revd. Henry Thomas Streeter in the year 1848.’ However, the plan also has, under the names of three principal inhabitants, ‘Architect John Phillips’ (no place stated). There is no mention of Sage who appears in BoE. The old tower was taken down and a new one built at the W end. Wyatt was none too keen on this but could not persuade Streeter: also N aisle and arcade and vestry are new. Reseating. My reading of this is that Streeter is our man and that Phillips has just signed off the plan to give it authority. WBR gives Sage qv;

1972ff restored Hazelbury Manor, Box, and greatly added to the gardens created for GJ Kidston after 1920; garden design with wife Dinny; Juliette Pollard: They initially replanted the herbaceous borders around the main lawn - setting these out as a series of colour themed beds in yellows, oranges, and reds through to purples , mauves and blues. Behind these beds they created a series of interconnecting garden 'rooms', each with a different theme; a foliage garden, a silver garden, a knot garden with a topiary chess pieces and a rose garden all framed by new yew hedge planting used to frame the 'rooms' and create vistas throughout the garden. A laburnum tunnel was also added and the original garden pavilions restored and modified to allow views the pig and across the garden. The main lawn / garden was further enhanced by the addition of a large reflective pool and fountains set against a 'stage set ' of yew hedges which provided a magnificent focal point at the end of the sunken lawn. (Sadly the pond was filled in by the current owners who at the time of purchasing the property from my parents had small children.) Having restored the main garden, my parents went on to replant the walled garden to the side of the property; to make significant improvements to the entrance to the house where they created a 'cottage garden' with raised beds and a series of stepped terraces; and to create a formal 'potager' garden which was linked to the side of the house by a woodland garden.

I haven’t bothered to pursue the question of whether Ware followed Brakspear’s plan or produced his own. The builder was Long. I wrote to EH in Jan 2011 about this as the listing gives Ponting as architect. I asked them for their source but haven’t heard from them. Pevsner gives no name which seems odd. The Fowler family were substantial benefactors. It was dedicated in June 1913. Capt Edmund Warre worked at Wilton House, Wilts, 1913, and did Horningsham village hall Wilts for Longleat estate, 1930.

PRICE, THOMAS G. Architect, surveyor, MSA; 63 Temple Row, Birmingham; Andy Foster: T.G Price is a bit of a puzzle. I only know of two buildings, a pair of nice but unremarkable houses / workshops in the Jewellery Quarter; and nearby the old Hockley Fire Station 67/69 Albion Street of 1909. This is a good Neo-Georgian job with a cupola and is listed II. The puzzle is that it's only known to be by Price because of a piece in the Builder. The date stone says Henry Stilgoe, then the city surveyor.

It looks very much as though it’s a DIY job by the vicar the Rev. Henry T Streeter. The plan in the file says ‘Enlarged Restored & Repaired under the superintendence of the Revd. Henry Thomas Streeter in the year 1848.’ However, the plan also has, under the names of three principal inhabitants, ‘Architect John Phillips’ (no place stated). There is no mention of Sage who appears in BoE. The old tower was taken down and a new one built at the W end. Wyatt was none too keen on this but could not persuade Streeter: also N aisle and arcade and vestry are new. Reseating. My reading of this is that Streeter is our man and that Phillips has just signed off the plan to give it authority.

J.P. Seddon. The grant was made in Jan 1875, so it seems likely that the date should be 1875-6 for the nave work. Letter Mar 1875 speaks about them going for ‘a new high pitched roof in place of the dilapidated clerestory’. The application in Jan 1875 refers to this intention and also to rebuild ‘one wall, the North entirely’. The file throws no light on the chancel work.

1968-70 attrib Barclays Bank, High Street, Westbury; attribution by Nicholas Webb, archivist:
I had hoped the premises committee minutes might name an architect but the only entry I can find relating to Westbury, dated 16/10/1968, is the approval of ‘elevational treatment involved in the erection of new premises on a site at the corner of Hayes Road and High Street, to rehouse existing branch at an estimated cost of £36,000’. (ref. 80/40). My best guess is that the likeliest designer of a new small town branch at that period would be a staff architect from the Bank’s own premises department: D L G Shuldham and H C S Workman, both ARIBA, were the Chief and Deputy Chief staff architects between 1968 and 1970.

SILLEY, GEORGE MICHAEL. Architect to Wilts & Dorset Bank, 17 Craven St, London. Cf RIBAJ 7.11.1908 32 article on John Gibson by SF Clarkson: born 1843, four years from 1863 with Habershon & Pite qv, principal assistant to John Gibson qv 1869-73, won competition for Wilts & Dorset Bank branch in Bath, 1873, left Gibson for private practice and 'has since acted as architect for that bank (W&D), having built or altered most of their numerous premises'. Also designed St Paul church and vicarage, Harringay, London, and 'numbers of other buildings'; Percival G Silley qv presumably a son or relation, practised from same address in 1920s;
Lloyds archives: I can confirm there was an architect George M Silley, who designed Shepton Mallet branch in 1877 and Corn Street, Bristol in 1880 for Wilts & Dorset Bank (this branch merged with the Lloyds branch at 55 Corn Street in 1918). Also, according to our records, Wilts & Dorset Bank opened a branch at 3 High Street Glastonbury in 1864. The building was next door to the George & Pilgrim Inn and incorporated some fine stone carving, including a frieze of animals and gargoyles. This Gothic style was not like the usual designs chosen by the bank for its buildings. In 1914 Wilts & Dorset was absorbed by Lloyds Bank.

Hugh Martin: It was the later work by the Smithsons at Ansty Plum that I was interested in. The garage/studio is 1971 but they also did the garden ramps in 1986 and a porch in 1993. Roger Rigby of Arup, the owner of Ansty Plum, was presumably a friend so they were prepared to do these trivial jobs for him. But throughout their careers they seem to have had a shortage of work. Derek Sugden apparently asked Peter Smithson to recommend an architect for his house, assuming Smithson would have been too busy, and was quite surprised to find that he wanted the job for himself.

STREETER, Rev. HENRY THOMAS Vicar of Rodbourne Cheney in 1848;
1848 rest Rodbourne Cheyney ch; Geoff Brandwood/ ICBS: Bit of a puzzle re the architect. TH Wyatt reporting on the work then in progress in July 1848 says ‘no architect has been employed’ though he makes reference to a clerk of the works. It looks very much as though it’s a DIY job by the vicar the Rev. Henry T Streeter. The plan in the file says ‘Enlarged Restored & Repaired under the superintendence of the Revd. Henry Thomas Streeter in the year 1848.’ However, the plan also has, under the names of three principal inhabitants, ‘Architect John Phillips’ (no place stated). There is no mention of Sage who appears in BoE. The old tower was taken down and a new one built at the W end. Wyatt was none too keen on this but could not persuade Streeter: also N aisle and arcade and vestry are new. Reseating. My reading of this is that Streeter is our man and that Phillips has just signed off the plan to give it authority. CE Ponting in WAM 37 370 givesMr Sage as architect;

These make it clear that the rebuilding of the west end of Draycot House was not executed until 1870 and completed in 1872. The new stables were built in 1871. Unfortunately, no costs or other details are given in the solicitor’s book. Given the delay, from the plans of 1864, there must be some doubt as to whether R.J. Withers was still the architect.
