Charles Hodgson Fowler (2 March 1840 – 14 December 1910) was a prolific English ecclesiastical architect who specialised in building and, especially, restoring churches.

He was born in Nottinghamshire, the son of Robert Hodgson Fowler (1798-1858) the vicar of Holy Trinity Church, Rolleston and Frances Elizabeth Bish (1802-1872).

In the early 1860s, following an apprenticeship with Sir George Gilbert Scott,[1] he commenced work in Pimlico, London, and became an Associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) in 1863.

From 1885 to the time of his death, he was Architect to the Dean and Chapter of Durham, a post that had previously been held by Sir George Gilbert Scott.

[4] Although much of Fowler's work involved restoring and enlarging buildings, he was the architect of a number of new or rebuilt churches.
