Maufe, Sir Edward (Brantwood)
(b Ilkley, Yorks, 12 Dec 1883; d Shepherd’s Hill, Buxted, E. Sussex, 12 Dec 1974). English architect. He was articled to William A. Pite in 1899 before going up to St John’s College, Oxford, in 1904. His first major commission, Kelling Hall (1912) at Kelling, Norfolk, for Sir Henry Deterding shows his early links with the Arts and Crafts Movement. After service in World War I, he came to prominence in 1924 with his design for the Palace of Industry at the British Empire Exhibition, Wembley (1924–5). Two churches, St Bede’s (1922–3), Clapham, London, and St Saviour’s (1924–6), Acton, London, are of the simplified Gothic Revival kind and show affinities with contemporary Swedish architecture, of which Maufe was a constant champion.
