Giles Arthington Worsley FSA (22 March 1961 – 17 January 2006) was an English architectural historian, author, editor, journalist and critic, specialising in British country houses.
His family moved into Hovingham Hall when he was aged 12, after his father inherited the baronetcy and estate, which in 2006 was 3,000 acres.
[2] Worsley was educated at Eton, studied Modern History at New College, Oxford (MA) including architectural history from Howard Colvin, and then in 1983 studied at the Courtauld Institute of Art (PhD, 1989) with his thesis on The Design and Development of the Stable and Riding House in Great Britain from the Thirteenth Century to 1914, which was later reworked into his 2004 book The British Stable.
One of the page boys attending the bride was Edward Windsor, Lord Downpatrick, grandson of the Duke of Kent.
The annual Giles Worsley Travel Fellowship was announced in February 2007 by the RIBA and the British School at Rome.
