 George Frederick Bodley (1827-1907)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
The architect G. Bodley worked in the Gothic style, and largely confined himself to churches.
He was the first pupil of George Gilbert Scott, later establishing a partnership with another pupil of Scott's, Thomas Garner, which lasted for nearly 3 decades.
Bodley's churches include among many others, St Michael in Brighton (1859-61, an early work - mentioned en passant on the Brighton walk page), and Holy Trinity Knightsbridge, and in Cambridge, All Saints, (another early work from 1863-4), the chapel for Queen's College, and secular buildings for King's College.

I mean to begin with George Gilbert Scott (1811-78), and not only because of his connection with the central icon of the Gothic Revival in Canterbury.
Scott’s greatest pupils were George Frederick Bodley (1827-1907) his brother-in-law (Episcopal Cathedral, Washington D.C.) and William White (1825-1900), but it was George Edmund Street (1824-81) who was to lead the field.
Many commissions were received during and after the Exhibition, notably by way of Bodley for the churches he was building at the time, but also a series of six stained glass panels based on the “King René” illustrations for a private individual.

 What England Owes to the Oxford Movement
George Edmund Street, who died at the age of fifty-seven in 1881, was another architect of genius who was profoundly influenced by the Revival.
Bodley built the churches of S. Michael's, Brighton (now the south aisle of the present church), and S. Martin's, Scarborough, and the church and conventual buildings of the Society of S. John the Evangelist at Cowley, and he learned not only to build but to decorate his churches.
George Richmond, famous for his portraits, was indeed a loyal follower of the Revival; but he stood, in that as in other respects, almost alone among the artists of his day.

 Dorchester Atheneum: National Register: St. Mary's Episcopal Church
In 1906, Henry Vaughan along with George Frederick Bodley (whom he had apprenticed with) were designated architects for the National Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul in Washington, D.C. Upon Bodley's death Vaughan inherited responsibility for the National Cathedral undertaking.
Both Bodley and Vaughan were followers of George Augustus Pugin who called for the return of English gothic to its roots prior to Henry the Eighth's break with Rome.
Both Henry Vaughan and George Frederick Bodley were highly influenced by the Ecclesiastical Society which evolved from the Cambridge Camden Society founded in England in 1839 by Benjamin Webb and John Mason Neale.

 Hoar Cross   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Probably the most spectacular church designed by George Frederick Bodley, this unique mini cathedral stands on a hill overlooking the village of Hoar Cross and the Needwood Forest.
Bodley was given an unlimited budget to design the detail of the sculptures that decorate the chancel, the stained glass windows, the rood screen, the embellished font cover in addition to the tombs of Hugo Meynell-Ingram and Emily herself, which lie in the chantry chapel.
When you stand in the nave everything you see was the vision and inspiration of one man. He even recommended the style of tombstones to be used in the churchyard.

 George Frederick Jewett, Sr.
George Frederick Jewett succeeded Huntington Taylor as General Manager in 1928 and remained in this position until the company was merged, along with the Clearwater Timber Company and the Potlatch Lumber Company in 1931.
The business papers of George Frederick Jewett, Manager and Vice-President of the Edward Rutledge Timber Company from 1928, Vice-President of Potlatch Forests, Incorporated, from 1935 to 1946 and President of the same company from 1946 until 1949, consist primarily of the correspondence directly concerned with these companies.
The volume of letters decreases rapidly in the 1940's and the little that does exist is primarily letters from G.F. Jewett and his wife to their two children and the replies of the latter to their parents.

The next day Pugin took Phillipps and George Myers, his builder, to the Charnwood Forest site located under the rock outcropping known as the Calvary; the following day he marked the foundations on the ground with Myers; and on 12 March 1840 the foundations of the monastery were laid and work was begun.
Bodley, an Anglican, kept a description of the abbey at his bedside.
The Gothic was supported in France by Viollet-le-Duc and other antiquarians as a secular style associated with the faithful copying of old work and in England, where Pugin's work at the Houses of Parliament was completed in the decorated style of Gothic deemed the appropriate representation for the British nation.

 Giles Gilbert Scott / Architect (1880-1960) - Design/Designer Information
His grandfather George Gilbert Scott (1811-1878) was the eminent High Victorian Gothic architect of the Albert Memorial, the Foreign Office and the Midland Railways Terminus Hotel at St Pancras Station.
After Bodley’s death in 1907, Scott was given sole control, but in 1910 he insisted on reworking the design for the main building, by refining its Gothic style into a simpler, symmetrical structure with a monumental central tower.
Despite the rural complaints, the K2 kiosk was a popular success, and Scott was invited by the Post Office to modify his design in 1930 for the concrete K3, intended principally for country use.

 HISTORY WRIT LARGE: the architecture of Percy Erskine Nobbs
Robert Lorimer, Nobbs's teacher, went to London in 1890 to study the new approach at first hand, spending nearly a year in the office of George Frederick Bodley, one of the greatest later Victorian church architects and an important early patron of Morris's firm.
In 1893 Lorimer set up his own office in Edinburgh and before the end of the decade had established himself "as an up-and-coming Arts and Crafts designer of cottages derived from the vernacular."2 He had also completed the first of his many superb restorations, that of Earlshall in Fife (Fig.
The association was an ideal one since Nobbs, although a gifted designer, had a notoriously short temper and needed a practical man to handle technical aspects and carry on the business side of the firm.

The link between the church and the Arts & Crafts movement was symbiotic from the beginning, but the link was especially strong in late 19th-century New England (Richardson's Trinity Church, with its decorative program including artists such as Burne-Jones, is a key example of the gesamtkunstwerk in America).
English ecclesiastical architect George Frederick Bodley gave Morris & Co. its first commission, and Bodley's emmisary in America, Henry Vaughan continued the patronage of decorative painters, wood carvers, and stained glass artists in churches, especially in the Northeast.
Vaughan-inspired Gothic Revivalists, particularly Ralph Adams Cram, contributed to a flowering of the Arts & Crafts in ecclesiastical design.
