	How VAT can demolish our built heritage \| Cash \| The Observer
		Maufe is said to have designed it for an American and his musician wife, so he took elements of American colonial architecture and combined it with his own brand of minimal classicism to produce a villa of charm and distinction.
		Maufe, whose career spanned the first three-quarters of the 20th century, designed few houses; he concentrated mainly on churches and monuments, including Guildford cathedral and the highly regarded RAF memorial in Runnymede.
		Maufe was a popular architect because his brand of stripped-down Gothic and no-frills Georgian was accessible and relatively cheap, but his work has been overshadowed by the triumph of modernism.

	About the building of St. Thomas the apostle church Hanwell London
		Edward Maufe won the competition for Guildford Cathedral in 1932.
		His reputation as a church architect had hitherto rested on restoration work at AIl Saints', Southampton and' St Martin's in the Fields'; and on two churches for the Royal Association for the Deaf at East Acton and Clapham, and -most notable -a well respected 'Clubland' Methodist chapel in Walworth which was bombed in the war.
		Moreover, St Thomas's substantiates Pevsner's admission that Maufe was 'a man with genuine spatial gifts" (Surrey}', 1971, p.21-1) The initial impression is of a nave and chancel of equal height given semblance of religious presence by narrow passage aisles cut into the thick piers of the vault, Alibi style.

	Guildford Cathedral
		Its architect was Sir Edward Maufe (1883 - 1974) who achieved his aim of "to build anew on tradition, to rely on proportion of mass, volume and line rather than elaboration and ornament".
		Begun in 1936 to a design by Sir Edward Maufe, and completed in 1961, it retains its unique position as the only new Anglican Cathedral to be built in the South of England since the Reformation.
		The story of the foundation of the Cathedral choir - one of a very few ensembles of its type to be founded in the 20th century - is equally remarkable.

		Originally in the Diocese of York, the church was in the Diocese of Ripon prior to becoming a cathedral in 1919, when the Diocese of Bradford was created.The building was extended in the 1950s and 60's by Sir Edward Maufe.
		The East End of the Cathedral (shown in the photo) is Maufe's work, but he reused the Morris and Co. stained glass from the old east window - there is therefore Victorian stained glass throughout the building including at the west end a window showing the women of the Bible.
		Maufe also extended the West of the Cathedral on either side of the Perpendicular tower.In 1987 the Nave and West end were re-ordered so as to provide the setting and amenities needed for the increasing number of visitors and the many varied occasions when large numbers of people come to the Cathedral.
