DEAN, JAMES Architect, Tottenham London; 1833 reblt Orcheston St Mary ch; ICBS: This hardly sounds like the same church as in BoE! Seems to have been rebuilt in 1833. A plan says quite clearly ‘Plan of the parish Church of Orcheston St Mary as rebuilt in the year 1833’. A signature on this is ’John Oxenberry Jane Surveyor’. But was he the designer? The application says the existing church had been examined by ‘an experienced Architect, Mr Dean of Holborn London’ [the Church Plans Online website gives his first name as James]. On a second application he is said to be from Tottenham, just to add to the puzzlement. The website gives Dean’s first name as James. The only James Dean in the RIBA Dic is ‘fl 1868’ and of Bishopsgate Street.

JANE, JOHN OXENBERRY Surveyor 1833 inv rest Ogbourne St Mary ch; G Brandwood from ICBS files: This hardly sounds like the same church as in BoE! Seems to have been rebuilt in 1833. A plan says quite clearly ‘Plan of the parish Church of Orcheston St Mary as rebuilt in the year 1833’. A signature on this is ’John Oxenberry Jane Surveyor’. But was he the designer? The application says the existing church had been examined by ‘an experienced Architect, Mr Dean of Holborn London’ [the Church Plans Online website gives his first name as James]. On a second application he is said to be from Tottenham, just to add to the puzzlement. The website gives Dean’s first name as James. The only James Dean in the RIBA Dic is ‘fl 1868’ and of Bishopsgate Street.

Bit of a puzzle re the architect. TH Wyatt, reporting on the work then in progress in July 1848 says ‘no architect has been employed’ though he makes reference to a clerk of the works. It looks very much as though it’s a DIY job by the vicar the Rev. Henry T Streeter. The plan in the file says ‘Enlarged Restored & Repaired under the superintendence of the Revd. Henry Thomas Streeter in the year 1848.’ However, the plan also has, under the names of three principal inhabitants, ‘Architect John Phillips’ (no place stated). There is no mention of Sage who appears in BoE. The old tower was taken down and a new one built at the W end. Wyatt was none too keen on this but could not persuade Streeter: also N aisle and arcade and vestry are new. Reseating. My reading of this is that Streeter is our man and that Phillips has just signed off the plan to give it authority.

Behind these beds they created a series of interconnecting garden 'rooms', each with a different theme; a foliage garden, a silver garden, a knot garden with a topiary chess pieces and a rose garden all framed by new yew hedge planting used to frame the 'rooms' and create vistas throughout the garden. A laburnum tunnel was also added and the original garden pavilions restored and modified to allow views the pig and across the garden. The main lawn / garden was further enhanced by the addition of a large reflective pool and fountains set against a 'stage set ' of yew hedges which provided a magnificent focal point at the end of the sunken lawn. (Sadly the pond was filled in by the current owners who at the time of purchasing the property from my parents had small children.) Having restored the main garden, my parents went on to replant the walled garden to the side of the property; to make significant improvements to the entrance to the house where they created a 'cottage garden' with raised beds and a series of stepped terraces; and to create a formal 'potager' garden which was linked to the side of the house by a woodland garden. 1996ff gardens, Abbey House, Malmesbury, with wife Barbara; POLLEN, JOHN HUNGERFORD Architect, artist, 1820-1902, 2nd son of Richard Pollen +1838 of Rodbourne and Ann sister of CR Cockerell qv; nephew of Sir John W Pollen Bt of Redenham Hants; JHP's elder brother Richard Hungerford Pollen 1815-81 became 3rd Bt and lived at Rodbourne; fellow of Merton College 1842, ordained 1845, left Anglican church for RC in 1852, professor at Catholic University of Ireland, 1855-7, designed University Church, Dublin; designed carvings for University Museum Oxford and worked on murals of Oxford Union 1858; designed painted dec scheme for Oxford Museum 1860 (unex); dec Blickling Hall, Norfolk, 1860; 186?

Bit of a puzzle re the architect. TH Wyatt reporting on the work then in progress in July 1848 says ‘no architect has been employed’ though he makes reference to a clerk of the works. It looks very much as though it’s a DIY job by the vicar the Rev. Henry T Streeter. The plan in the file says ‘Enlarged Restored & Repaired under the superintendence of the Revd. Henry Thomas Streeter in the year 1848.’ However, the plan also has, under the names of three principal inhabitants, ‘Architect John Phillips’ (no place stated). There is no mention of Sage who appears in BoE. The old tower was taken down and a new one built at the W end. Wyatt was none too keen on this but could not persuade Streeter: also N aisle and arcade and vestry are new. Reseating. My reading of this is that Streeter is our man and that Phillips has just signed off the plan to give it authority. 1852 TH, Market place, Old Swindon; SB built for Swindon Market Co to S Sage design by George Major of Swindon, with market area under a hall for 600, drawings and plans presented Reading Mercury 22.5.52, old market hall pulled down Reading Mercury 26.6.52; used as courthouse from 1853-73, market area failed, was taken over by wine merchant who filled in the arches and built secure store against end wall after 1862; built with E Robertson qv, WBR; letter re lock-up in proposed building DWG 25.11.52; extended 1865-6 by Wilson & Willcox qv with tower and Corn Exchange; 1852 Savings Bank, 99-100 Victoria Rd, Swindon; J Booker, Temples of Mammon, 1990; Savings Bank, Victoria St in 1855 dir; present offices of Swindon Advertiser; SB pp247-8 says SA launched 6.2.1854 and p181 says published from purpose-built premises from 1857, publisher W Morris was still in Wood St in 1855 dir; 1854 plans for a Lock-up, Swindon, not used; committee refused to pay SS £15 for plans; Surveyor said plans only of interest as suggested £400 whereas Surveyor's plans with the ornamental bits came to £800 but were of no uses, just sent in as private speculation; WI 19.6.54 1855 surveyed land London Rd, Swindon, just E of railway village for building, owned by JHH Sheppard; C&F 81; 1858 building land between Union Railway Inn and the company's cottages, Swindon, apply S Sage SA 29.3.58; many plots unsold by 1870; 1858 National School, Broad Town; WBR; WSHC plans 782/16, certificated 1859; school and teacher's house; brick, Gothic; SB 1860 drainage Mr I Ann's premises, High St, Swindon SA 19.3.60;

SHULDHAM, D. L. G. Chief staff architect, Barclays Bank c1968; ARIBA; HCS Workman was Deputy Chief. 1968-70 attrib Barclays Bank, High Street, Westbury; attribution by Nicholas Webb, archivist: I had hoped the premises committee minutes might name an architect but the only entry I can find relating to Westbury, dated 16/10/1968, is the approval of ‘elevational treatment involved in the erection of new premises on a site at the corner of Hayes Road and High Street, to rehouse existing branch at an estimated cost of £36,000’. (ref. 80/40). My best guess is that the likeliest designer of a new small town branch at that period would be a staff architect from the Bank’s own premises department: D L G Shuldham and H C S Workman, both ARIBA, were the Chief and Deputy Chief staff architects between 1968 and 1970.

STREETER, Rev. HENRY THOMAS Vicar of Rodbourne Cheney in 1848; 1848 rest Rodbourne Cheyney ch; Geoff Brandwood/ ICBS: Bit of a puzzle re the architect. TH Wyatt reporting on the work then in progress in July 1848 says ‘no architect has been employed’ though he makes reference to a clerk of the works. It looks very much as though it’s a DIY job by the vicar the Rev. Henry T Streeter. The plan in the file says ‘Enlarged Restored & Repaired under the superintendence of the Revd. Henry Thomas Streeter in the year 1848.’ However, the plan also has, under the names of three principal inhabitants, ‘Architect John Phillips’ (no place stated). There is no mention of Sage who appears in BoE. The old tower was taken down and a new one built at the W end. Wyatt was none too keen on this but could not persuade Streeter: also N aisle and arcade and vestry are new. Reseating. My reading of this is that Streeter is our man and that Phillips has just signed off the plan to give it authority.

These make it clear that the rebuilding of the west end of Draycot House was not executed until 1870 and completed in 1872. The new stables were built in 1871. Unfortunately, no costs or other details are given in the solicitor’s book. Given the delay, from the plans of 1864, there must be some doubt as to whether R.J. Withers was still the architect.
