The earliest example noted by Pevsner is the Henry VII Lodge in Woburn Sands, Bedfordshire, built in 1811.
[1][3] The first Cheshire architect to be involved in the movement was T. M. Penson,[1] who restored the house at No.
[6] However, Pevsner considers that Penson's works were "moderate in size and not very knowledgeable in detail".
[7] They were the principal architects of the movement,[8] and they "transformed the street frontages of the city with their black and white buildings".
[9] Major examples of their work are Lockwood's building opposite Chester Cross at No.
