Edmund Montagu Prinsep Fisher (13 January 1872 – 31 March 1918), was a British architect, the son of historian Herbert William Fisher. He died following service in France during World War I. ==Biography== Fisher was born on 13 January 1872 in Onslow Square, Kensington, Middlesex, England,〔 the sixth of the eleven children of Herbert William Fisher (1826–1903) and his wife Mary Louisa (née Jackson) (1841–1916). His siblings included: H. A. L. Fisher, historian and Minister of Education; Admiral Sir William Wordsworth Fisher, Commander-in-Chief of the Mediterranean Fleet; Florence Henrietta, Lady Darwin, playwright and wife of Sir Francis Darwin (son of Charles Darwin); and Adeline Vaughan Williams, wife of English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams. He was educated at Haileybury and trained as an architect in the office of Basil Champneys in London.〔 His distinctive architectural style showed a "singular talent for making his houses appear to grow out of the ground as natural parts of the surrounding scenery."〔 Much of his work was domestic, but he also designed more than twenty schools in Berkshire, including Wescott School and Alwyn County Infants' School, Maidenhead (demolished in 1997)〔 He also designed Wych Cross Place, the residence of his father-in-law Douglas Freshfield, during the early 1900s.〔 His more prominent works include the Maitland Building (1910–1911) and Hall (1912–1913) at Somerville College, Oxford,〔 described as "unassertive but admirable",〔 and the Anglican Church of the Holy Trinity in Rome (now demolished).〔〔
