Henry Paley

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henry Anderson Paley (1859–1946) was an English architect, the only son of Edward Paley, also an architect, of Lancaster. He started his training with his father and Hubert Austin, then went for further experience to the London office of T. E. Collcutt. He returned to his father's practice in 1882 and became a partner in 1886. Up to the death of Hubert Austin in 1915, he was involved in the design of 75 new churches and also in restorations and additions to other churches. After that he mainly worked alone, or with associates rather than partners, designing some more churches, and also hospitals, schools and houses.^[1]

He married Katherine Gossalin in 1888 and they had one daughter. He died in 1946 at his home, Moorgarth, in Caton.^[1]
