Thomas Verity

Verity began his career articled in the architecture department of the War Office, assisting in the erection of the South Kensington Museum.

This was initially in partnership with G. H. Hunt, but later with his son, Frank Verity, who received his training in his father's firm.

[1] Both Veritys bought an interest in ornate Second Empire–style architecture to their early buildings, developing this into grand Beaux Arts in their later works.

The Pavilion with its famous Long Room at Lord's Cricket Ground was built in 1889–1890 to Verity's designs.

This historic landmark, a Grade II*-listed building, underwent an £8 million refurbishment programme in 2004–05.
