Alexander Dick Gough

Alexander Dick Gough (3 November 1804 – 8 September 1871) was an English architect who practised in London, where much of his work may be found.

[2] In 1823, at the age of 19, after some foreign travel, he became a pupil of the architect Benjamin Dean Wyatt, who entrusted him with the superintendence of several of his most important works, including Apsley House and the Duke of York's Column.

[1] A contemporary review of his church of St Paul at Chatham, built in a Norman Revival style in 1853-5, noted that Gough had followed medieval models much more closely in the details than in the general form, and praised the building's areas of boldly-executed surface-carving.

[1] Gough died on 8 September 1871, aged 67, and was buried in a modest grave (no.15710) on the western side of Highgate Cemetery.

Gough also reconstructed the interiors of St. Mary's, Brampton, Huntingdonshire; St. Nicholas's, Rochester (where he also built a parsonage) St. Giles's, Pitchcott, Buckinghamshire and St. Margaret's, Rainham, Kent.
