William Henry Crossland, the architect behind the Founder's Building at Royal Holloway, University of London, is widely respected for his architectural style, which is considered archetypally Victorian. Despite his substantial body of work, Crossland remains relatively unknown, despite the many buildings he designed that still stand today. This biography aims to bring Crossland out of the shadows and explore his mysterious and elusive persona in depth for the first time.
Recently digitised documents and long-hidden archival material have shed new light on Crossland, providing the reader with an unprecedented appreciation and understanding of the man, his life, and his work. Combined with the author's firsthand knowledge of his buildings, this material offers a comprehensive portrait of Crossland, encompassing his personal and artistic influences.
W.H. Crossland fills a gap in nineteenth-century architectural knowledge, offering a fresh perspective on the architectural landscape of the time. At the same time, it is a touching story of an ambitious and talented man who is long overdue to be recognised as one of the greats among nineteenth-century architects. This book is intended for architects, architectural historians, and anyone with an interest in the built environment, nineteenth-century history, and intriguing personal stories.
