Richard Norman Shaw was born in Edinburgh on May 7, 1831.
In 1854 Shaw won the Gold Medal of the Royal Academy, and its traveling scholarship permitted a journey that resulted in the publication of his Architectural Sketches from the Continent (1858), a folio of 100 lithographed vignettes of medieval ecclesiastical and domestic architecture in France, Italy, Germany, and Belgium.
Shaw began as a builder of Gothic revival churches, such as that at Bingley in Yorkshire (1864), but he is now remembered for his Queen Anne country houses, for example, Leys Wood in Sussex (1868; demolished), which was early and influential, and Adcote in Shropshire (1879).

In the 1870s the architect Richard Norman Shaw established his reputation by designing Leyswood in Sussex, and Cragside in Northumberland, on dramatic rocky sites to which the houses played up with fragmented plans, soaring verticals, and picturesquely broken roofs.
Shaw was consciously continuing the picturesque tradition, but, on the whole, new houses in this kind of position were built comparatively seldom in the British Isles.
Later on in the century Norman Shaw's houses exerted a powerful influence on American seaside and holiday architecture, mainly on the strength of the brilliant drawings with which they had been illustrated in English architectural magazines.

 Queen Anne Style
The name is rather inappropriate, for the historical precedents used by Shaw and his followers had little to do with Queen Anne who reigned 1702-14 or the formal Renaissance architecture that was dominant during her reign.
Shaw designed several small villas in the late 1870s for a new "artistic" suburb of west London called Bedford Park.
Shaw's style was given two very distinctive American features: an extensive use of wood, for shingle, cladding, verandahs and decorative facade details, and novel, informal planning.

They had absolutely NOTHING to do with Queen Anne or the period of her reign, and very rarely are the small enough to resemble anyone's definition of a cottage (except perhaps by Newport-Vanderbilt standards).
Instead, the style was first devised by a group of English architects led by Richard Norman Shaw and in their original manifestation were half-timbered with patterned masonry reminiscent of the Medieval, Elizabethan, and Jacobean eras.
A few, such as the Watts-Sherman house in Newport (built in the 1870s), are true to this original pattern.
