Cockerell's discovery in the temple at Aegina of two fragments of a coping-stone, in which there were sinkings on one side to receive the tiles and covering tiles, has been of great importance in the discussion of this subject.
There is, however, still another objection to Fergussons theory; the water collecting in these trenches on the roof would have to be discharged, for which Fergussons suggestions are quite inadequate, and the gargoyles shown in the celia wall would make the peristyle insupportable just at the time when it was required for shelter.

 Charles Robert Cockerell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles Robert Cockerell (1788–1863) was an English architect, archaeologist, and writer.
As an archaeologist, Cockerell is remembered for discovering the reliefs from the temple of Apollo at Bassae, near Phigalia, which are now in the British Museum.
With Jacques Ignace Hittorff and Thomas Leverton Donaldson, Cockerell was also a member of the committee formed in 1836 to determine whether the Elgin Marbles and other Greek statuary in the British Museum had originally been coloured (see Transactions of the Royal Institute of British Architects for 1842).

Cockerell's letter shows that the Bishop had questioned the propriety of the round-headed first-floor windows and had quoted 'authorities' critical of their juxtaposition to the more modest fenestration of Norfolk House.
Cockerell was particularly reluctant to reduce the intended size of the principal rooms which were 'already small', and was satisfied that the existing plan gave the best disposition of light 'which in the Drawing Room should be very chearful'.
The rebuilt house was in occupation by 1821.

 Architecture, labor and the human body: Fergusson, Cockerell and Ruskin
The thesis focuses upon the contrasting positions outlined during the 1840s and 50s in Britain by James Fergusson, C. Cockerell and John Ruskin, and briefly investigates the contributions of Edward Lacy Garbett and William Whewell.
Cockerell invoked the authority of Vitruvius to argue that architectural design involved the representation of the body, defined as an ideal type of beauty.
Architectural form, for Cockerell, could not be divided to express different labor skills, as it must exhibit the proportions and sensuous qualities of the ideal human body.

The young English architect Charles Robert Cockerell (1788-1863) journeyed in Europe and in the Levant from 1810 to 1817.
In 1814, Cockerell undertook a new archaeological expedition, in conjunction with his compatriots the architect Thomas Allason (1790-1852) and the antiquarian John Spencer Stanhope (1787-1873), whom the French imprisoned in Spain at the beginning of his journey in 1810, the German painter Jakob Linckh (1787-1842), and James Perchard Tupper (active between 1797 and 1821).
Allason and Cockerell drew up a map of the city, on which they marked a stadium that has still not been discovered; Linckh and Tupper executed a plan of the Theater, while Stanhope set off on an unsuccessful search for a temple.

The beautifully illustrated book includes his key role in the revival of traditional urbanism, as in his design for the new Paternoster Square, next to St Paul’s Cathedral, and, most recently in his Market Hall at the Prince of Wales’s new town of Poundbury, Dorset.
Describing a wide range of work from furniture design to town-planning, the book gives pride of place to his major work so far, the new Queen’s Gallery at Buckingham Palace, opened by Her Majesty the Queen in May 2002 as part of the jubilee celebrations of her fiftieth anniversary as monarch.
The book is thus a unique and compelling demonstration of the fruitful interchange of history and practice in modern architecture.

The book sheds new light on the background to the erection of three of Cambridge's most notable buildings: the Senate House, the East Front of the Old Schools, and C, R. Cockerell's uncompleted new library.
Throughout, it is based not only on the author's intimate knowledge of the collections, but also on a thorough - and often pioneering - study of the surviving archives both in Cambridge and elsewhere.
