A. H. Skipworth

[1][Note 1] He was the son of the Rev Arthur Bolland Skipworth and his wife Eliza Mary (née Browne).

[8][9] His obituary in The Builder explained that "[h]is style of design was too original and too delicate and refined to appeal much to the average church committee".

[10] Other unrealised designs included churches for Cockington, Devon, and St Andrew's, Dearnley, Littleborough, Notts.

[13] He died in 1907 in Hampstead, aged 45, having suffered ill health for many years, including diabetes,[6][35] which, before the discovery of insulin, resulted in reduced life expectancy.

[6] He was unmarried, although his friend and former colleague Edward Warren reported that in his last few months he had become engaged to be married, without identifying the fiancée.
