Benjamin Ferrey

Benjamin Ferrey FSA FRIBA (1 April 1810–22 August 1880) was an English architect who worked mostly in the Gothic Revival.

They had five children: Alicia (1838–1924), Ellen (1840–41), Eleanor Mary (1842–45), Benjamin Edmund (1845–1900) and Annie (1847–1926).

In his early twenties Ferrey toured continental Europe, then studied further in the office of William Wilkins.

Ferrey also designed private houses and public buildings, including a number of Tudor Revival ones in the earlier part of his career.

[4] Charles Eastlake in his History of the Gothic Revival described Ferrey as "one of the earliest, ablest, and most zealous pioneers of the modern Gothic school" and said his work "possessed the rare charm of simplicity, without lacking interest".
