  Charles Robert Cockerell - LoveToKnow 1911
CHARLES ROBERT COCKERELL (1788-1863), British architect, was born in London on the 28th of April 1788.
On Sir John Soane's death in 1837 Cockerell was appointed architect of the Bank of England, and carried out the alterations that were judged to be necessary in that building.
Cockerell's best conceptions were those inspired by classic models; his essays in the Gothic - the college at Lampeter, for instance, and the chapel at Harrow - are by no means so successful.
