Born in Bath in 1876 he was a practising architect. In his youth he was a keen swimmer and tennis player. Quiet and retiring in manner, short in stature, bespectacled and with a somewhat serious expression on his face, it is not surprising that chess was also one of his hobbies. He was also an accomplished` cellist and often performed in the Wigwam. He was elected to the Tribe in 1919 and was a regular contributor to Grouse mainly in the form of beautifully executed drawings of some famous building to illustrate an article. He worked chiefly in watercolour and his pictures contained a wealth of detail. He exhibited regularly at the RWA of which he was a member and left many paintings of street scenes and of old and demolished buildings of great historical interest. He designed a plaque embodied in a sculpture by Ernest Pascoe in memory of their friend Jack Stancombe now in St. Nicholas Church. In 1958 he died at his home in Upper Belgrave Rd. (Cecil Broome)
