Owen Browne Carter

[2] Following Garbett's death, Carter oversaw the construction of St John's South, a group of almshouses, to his late employer's design.

He spent some time in Cairo, where he made a large number of architectural and topographical drawings,[2] about fifty of which are in collection of the British Museum.

[6] His buildings in Winchester included the New Corn Exchange (now a public library),[8] with a central portico modelled on that of Inigo Jones' St Paul, Covent Garden.

[1] Describing the front of the building, The Gentleman's Magazine said that Carter had "endeavored to avoid the flimsy effect of the modern Grecian school, and to keep in view the more legitimate style of design inculcated by Palladio in Italy, and at home by our own countrymen, Jones and Wren.

[8] He exhibited architectural drawings at the Royal Academy between 1847 and 1851, showing designs for the rebuilding of Holyrood church, Southampton, and for restorations of the Poultry Cross at Salisbury (carried out in 1852-4)[10] and the screen at Winchester Cathedral.
