Richard Phipson

As diocesan architect for the Anglican Diocese of Norwich, he was responsible for renovating almost 100 churches in East Anglia.

He restored a large number of churches in East Anglia in the middle and late 19th century:[1] he was "fond of big, unexpected figure and foliage carvings".

[8] There was a medieval church on the site, which was almost entirely demolished in the 1860s, so that the present exterior is largely Phipson's, although the nave arcades and some monuments and fittings inside remain from the original.

[11] In 1865–66 Phipson oversaw restoration of St Peter's Church at Ickburgh, a project paid for by Francis Baring, 3rd Baron Ashburton.

[15] Besides churches, Phipson also designed commercial buildings, including a bank on Hall Quay in Great Yarmouth.
