	Basil Champneys - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Coventry Patmore's Friendship with Alfred Tennyson
		Although Champneys cites a number of reasons for the demise of Patmore's and Tennyson's relationship, it is clear that the prolonged illness and eventual death of Patmore's first wife adversely affected many of his literary friendships including the one he had cultivated with Tennyson.
		According to Champneys, as Patmore began to progress in his career, his mystic tendencies drove him to work towards a new standard of poetry which was no longer in line with the Tennysonian ideals for verse.
		Champneys thus quotes Patmore from around the time of his fallen friendship with Tennyson as saying that Tennyson's "earlier [verses] were Tennyson" whereas the later were merely "Tennysonian." Indeed, many of Tennyson's friends agreed with Patmore.

		An extension was designed by Basil Champneys, and work began in 1913.
		It is thought that this design choice was influenced by Basil Champneys's son Amian, who described such a system in his 1907 book Public libraries : A treatise on their design, construction, and fittings.

		Rees Roberts is a great admirer of Champneys, and his plans echo Champneys' proportions and detailing: indeed, he says that almost every element of the design had been solved by Champneys somewhere or other in the building.
		In that room, Champneys himself shows how this is to be done, and provides the model for the cast iron balustrades.
		In the context of the distinguished Champneys interiors with which he is working, the result will be the realisation of much-needed space which is both practical and beautiful.

		It was the first of the London board-schools, which were built as a result of the Elementary Education Act (1870), to be designed in the QUEEN ANNE REVIVAL style by a number of architects, one of the most important being J. It had Flemish gables, large chimney-stacks and dormer windows.
		Oak Tree House (1872–3; destr.), Hampstead, London, a house and studio for Holiday, was an ingenious Queen Anne Revival design, built to exploit the view and with unusual details such as a bell hung between two chimney-stacks.
		These buildings, again in the Queen Anne Revival style and informally laid out, are outstandingly pretty, with Flemish gables, broken pediments and many bay and oriel windows; the white window-frames and bars contrast with the red brick.

		From 1877 he worked in the office of the pre-eminent London architect of the “Queen Anne style” Basil Champneys whose influence can clearly be seen in his turned metalwork.
		But his manners of design are in general too well ordered to pin him to either movement.
		Perhaps the closest influence is the Queen Anne revival style whose pinciples he learnt from the pioneering architect, Basil Champneys; certainly there is usually an infallible and consistent restraint and good proportion to all he did.
