	Sir George Gilbert Scott - LoveToKnow 1911
		SIR GEORGE GILBERT SCOTT (1811-1878), English architect, was born in 1811 at Gawcott near Buckingham, where his father was rector; his grandfather, Thomas Scott (1747-1821), was a well-known commentator on the Bible.
		In 1838 Scott built at Lincoln his first church, the design for which won the prize in an open competition, and this was quickly followed by six others, all very poor buildings without chancels; church building in England had then reached its very lowest point both in style and in poverty of construction.
		From that time Scott became the chief ecclesiastical architect in England, and in the next twenty-eight years completed a large number of new churches and "restorations," the fever for which was fomented by the Ecclesiological Society and the growth of ecclesiastical feeling in England.

	Arts Unlimited \| Arts critics \| Who was George Gilbert Scott Jr?
		Scott Sr was, I suppose, the Norman Foster of Victorian England; forever busy, an inveterate traveller, he ran the biggest and most prolific architectural practice of his day.
		Scott Jr's early years (Eton, Cambridge, a fellowship at Jesus College) were cosseted by his father's self-made fortune, and he lived the rest of his life in the imposing gothic shadow of Great Scott.
		Giles Gilbert Scott once said: "Grandfather was the successful practical man, and a phenomenal scholar in gothic precedent, but father was the artist." An artist, yes, but how tragic that the Norwich cathedral, Scott Jr's biggest commission, was to prove a denial of his innovative artistry, a return to his father's pedantic form.
