W. Gibbs Bartleet (1829 – 10 March 1906)[1] was an English Victorian architect based in Beckenham, Kent, England, who primarily worked locally in Kent. Among his works was the grandiose rebuilding of St. George's Church, Beckenham (1885-1887), formerly a “humble medieval village church.”[2] He also designed the 1870 additions (Chancel and South Transept) to St. Saviour's Church, Herne Hill (built 1856, demolished 1981).[3]

His son, Sydney Francis Bartleet, (fl. 1879-1927), also an architect, was taken into the partnership in 1891.[1]
