John Shaw Jr.

His father, John Shaw Sr. (1776–1832), was architect to the Port of Ramsgate and Christ's Hospital school in London.

A building next-door to the church, at 187 Fleet Street, built for the Law Life Assurance Society in 1834[1] is a typical example of Shaw's Jacobean style.

In the same year as working for Eton (1825) Shaw developed the Chalcots estate, Chalk Farm, building semi-detached villas.

Shaw was looked upon favorably by Prince Albert as an architect who could offer something different from the usual Victorian era Gothic revival architecture.

The Prince helped secure work for Shaw, including the Royal Naval School in London and Wellington College in Berkshire.
