Henry Conybeare

Henry Conybeare (22 February 1823 – 23 January 1892) was an English civil engineer and Gothic revival architect who designed two notable churches and greatly improved the supply of drinking water to Mumbai.

He qualified as an engineer and moved to India while still in his twenties to work on the Bombay Great Eastern Railway project.

The architect originally selected, John Macduff Derick, had already presented his designs to the authorities, but they decided in June 1845 that these were unfit for purpose and the building would cost too much.

The reredos, the Afghan War Memorial mosaics, and the tiles, pews and screen were designed by William Butterfield.
