Edward Maufe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Edward Brantwood Maufe was an English architect born 12 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. He was the architect chiefly responsible, in the 1950's for the rebuilding of much of Gray's Inn and the Inner Temple which had been heavily damaged in bombing during World War II.
Apparently indexed in the 1901 Census (now online [1]) 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, Maufe lived at 139 Old Church Street, Chelsea, London SW3.
