W. Gibbs Bartleet (1829 – 10 March 1906) 〔Antonia Brodie. ''Directory of British Architects 1834-1914: A-K'' (Continuum, 2001) p128.〕 was an English Victorian architect. ==Life== Bartleet was born in Handsworth, Birmingham and was based during his career in the Old Broad Street in the City of London, and in Brentwood, Essex.〔 He was honorary surveyor of the German Hospital at Dalston, where he is mentioned as having carried out extensive repairs by 1857. Among his works was the grandiose rebuilding of St. George's Church, Beckenham (1885-1887), formerly a “humble medieval village church.”〔John Newman. ''West Kent and the Weald.'' The “Buildings of England” Series, First Edition, Sir Nikolaus Pevsner and Judy Nairn, eds. (London: Penguin, 1969), p.141〕 In 1870 he added a chancel and south transept to Alexander Dick Gough's St. Saviour's Church, Herne Hill (built 1856, demolished 1981).〔(Ruskin Park, St. Saviour )〕 At Upminster he largely rebuilt the medieval church of St. Laurance in 1863,〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=London Borough of Havering )〕 and in 1872-3 remodelled Hill Place for Temple Soanes in a restrained Gothic style, of diapered red brick with stone facings. He also enlarged or rebuilt the churches of St Mary, Dunton, Essex, St. Mary the Virgin, Shenfield and St. Michael and All Angels, Wilmington Kent.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BARTLEET, William Gibbs: b. 1829 - d. 1906 of Brentwood )〕 In London he built offices for the Promoter Life Assurance Company in a neo-Renaissance style in Fleet Street, and in 1873 refronted a pair of eighteenth century terraced houses in Henrietta Street, Covent Garden in an Italianate style for the London and County Bank. His son, Sydney Francis Bartleet, (fl. 1879-1927), also an architect, was taken into the partnership in 1891.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「W. Gibbs Bartleet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
