Albert Estcourt

Albert Estcourt (c. 1832 – 18 February 1909) was an English builder and stonemason, in the 19th century who with his brother, and later on his own, constructed a number of notable buildings in the county and across southern England.

Some of his buildings are Hillfield House in Gloucester (1867–1869), now grade II listed; major restoration work at St Mary's Church, Cheltenham (1877); the Oxford University Cricket Club Pavilion (the Parks Pavilion) to a design by Thomas Graham Jackson (1880–1881); and Clouds House in Wiltshire (1881–1886).

[1] The 1851 census shows him as a stone mason, lodging at St Mary's Square in Gloucester with the publican Joseph Gardner.

His works include Hillfield House in Gloucester (1867–69) to a design by John Giles for the timber merchant Charles Walker, now grade II listed and described as the "most elaborate Victorian house in Gloucester";[5][10] major restoration work at St Mary's Church, Cheltenham (1877);[11] and in 1880–1881 the Oxford University Cricket Club Pavilion (the Parks Pavilion) to a design by Thomas Graham Jackson.

[12] A major work was the construction in 1881–1886 of Clouds House in Wiltshire,[6] now grade II* listed with Historic England.
