David Kindersley
David Guy Barnabas Kindersley (11 June 1915 – 2 February 1995) was a British stone letter-carver and typeface designer, and the founder of the Kindersley Workshop (later the Cardozo Kindersley Workshop). His carved plaques and inscriptions in stone and slate can be seen on many churches and public buildings in the United Kingdom. Kindersley was a designer of the Octavian font for Monotype in 1961, and he and his third wife Lida Lopes Cardozo designed the main gates for the British Library.
==Early life==
Kindersley was born at Codicote near Hitchin, the son of Major Guy Molesworth Kindersley (a stockbroker and MP) and the grandson on his mother's side of the Arts and Crafts potter Sir Edmund Elton. He was educated at St Cyprian's School, Eastbourne, where "he had a wonderful time", becoming head boy,〔Montague Shaw ''David Kindersley: His work and workshop'' Cardozo Kindersley Editions 1989 p9〕 and the sharpness of his eye was shown by his outstanding skill at shooting. He claimed that "aiming at the centre has always been an inherent quality with him".〔 His elder brother, Hallam, died at Westminster School whilst Kindersley was still at St Cyprian's. Kindersley went on to Marlborough College, but left after three years because of rheumatoid arthritis.
After recovery, Kindersley was sent to Paris to learn French and study sculpture at the Academie St. Julian and then with the Iduni brothers in London. He read the books of Eric Gill, and decided to become a stone-cutter.〔Montague Shaw ''David Kindersley: His work and workshop'' Cardozo Kindersley Editions 1989 p10〕 He became an apprentice to Gill in his workshop at Pigotts High Wycombe in December 1934, with the support of his father who, liking to do things the proper way, insisted on paying an apprenticeship indemnity.〔Montague Shaw ''David Kindersley: His work and workshop'' Cardozo Kindersley Editions 1989 p11〕 He worked on important commissions, including Bentall's store in Kingston upon Thames, St John's College, Oxford and Dorset House.〔(Cardozo Kindersley Workshop website )〕
