Henry Goodridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry Edmund Goodridge (1797, Bath – 26 October 1864) was an architect whose work started in the 1820s.
His neoclassical buildings in Bath include Cleveland Bridge, one of the earliest shopping arcades (The Corridor) and Bath's much loved folly Beckford's Tower, commissioned by the eccentric William Thomas Beckford.
His designs outside Bath include the chapel of Downside Abbey (1828), Devizes Castle (1840) and the library of Hamilton Palace (1845).
Goodridge maintained a financial interest in The Corridor and, a few years after the death of his widow, his will led to a huge family dispute which had to be resolved by the Chancery Court.
