Notes: A pioneering biography. "Chantrell - along with many architects of his generation - has hitherto been confined to the shadows of architectural history, shadows cast so adeptly by Pugin and the Ecclesiologists." He had trained in Soane's office and subsequently designed a string of compelling Classical buildings and many post-Waterloo Gothick Revival churches. His greatest building was probably Leeds Parish Church (1837-41).
