John Oldrid Scott (1841 – 1913) was an English architect.
Biography
He was the son of Sir George Gilbert Scott and his wife Caroline née Oldrid. His brother George Gilbert Scott Junior and nephew Sir Giles Gilbert Scott were also prominent architects. He married Mary Ann Stevens in 1868, eldest daughter of the Reverend Thomas Stevens, the founder of Bradfield College. One of his nine children, Charles Marriott Oldrid Scott, worked in his architectural practice.
At the end of his career he lived in Peasmarsh, near Rye, East Sussex, and the sale of his farmhouse and 136 acres was mentioned in the national press in 1928.[4]
