Edward Buckton Lamb

Edward Buckton Lamb (1806–1869) was a British architect who exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1824.

Lamb was labelled a 'Rogue Gothic Revivalist', and his designs were roundly criticised for breaking with convention, especially by The Ecclesiologist.

[1] More recently Nikolaus Pevsner called him "the most original though certainly not the most accomplished architect of his day".

[2] He was born in London, England, his father James Lamb being a government official.

[4] He contributed to Loudon's Encyclopaedia (1833), published studies on Gothic Ornament (1830), Ancient Domestic Architecture (1846) with text by William Henry Leeds, and contributed regularly to the Architectural Magazine (1834–8).
