George Grey Wornum

Badly wounded in the First World War he suffered leg injuries and the loss of his right eye, which had no effect on his subsequent achievements as an architect.

[2] His notability rests upon his design of the RIBA Building, the Royal Institute of British Architects' Headquarters at 66 Portland Place, London.

One of his earliest commissions, in 1922, was the redecoration and expansion of "The King's Hall" at the Royal Bath Hotel in Bournemouth, which had been built around the outbreak of World War I and had remained only temporarily decorated pending the return of pre-war conditions.

[3] He supervised the interior decorative designs of the original RMS Queen Elizabeth liner[4] and was responsible for the layout of Parliament Square greatly praised in an article in The Times on 13 November 1952.

In the late 1930s, Wornum designed the Fraser Gardens housing estate in Dorking, Surrey for residents who had been cleared from slum dwellings in the town centre.
