Life
He was educated at Eton College,[1] and read music at Trinity College, Cambridge. He worked briefly for Sir Charles Nicholson, and then set up his own architectural practice. He is known for his church projects.[2]
He was Oxford's Slade Professor of Fine Art, from 1933 to 1936.[3] His 1934 lectures on Victorian architecture were considered important, as part of the informed revival of interest in Victoriana, by Nikolaus Pevsner.[4] He served as president of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) from 1937 to 1939.
He was awarded the CBE in 1955.
Although he was a good 25 years older than Michael Noble, later Baron Glenkinglas, the two had a friendly feud based on the much nastier Andrew Noble - George Whitwick Rendel feud.
