Edward Maufe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sir Edward Brantwood Maufe was an English architect born 12th December 1883 in Ilkley. He died on his birthday in 1974 in Buxted, East Sussex. His works include Kelling Hall in Norfolk, the Festival Theatre in Cambridge, the Air Forces Memorial overlooking Runnymede, the Oxford Playhouse, St Columba's Church (Pont Street, London, SW1) and Guildford Cathedral 1932.

Apparently indexed in the on-line 1901 Census as "Edward B.Muff" an architect in Hampstead, he moved with his parents during the next decade to Red House, Bexleyheath, London which was originally designed for, and owned by William Morris. When he received a knighthood early in 1954, Edward lived at 139 Old Church Street, Chelsea, London SW3.
