    ABOUT

    Sir George Gilbert Scott (1811-1878) was born in Gawcott,Buckinghamshire.Working almost exclusively in the Gothic style, he became one of the most successful architects of his generation, but hisunshakeable belief in the supremacy of Gothic over the Classical

    and Renaissance styles for public and collegiate buildings, together with his often conjectural 'restorations' of medieval churches, oftenresulted in controversy.He started in architecture by designing gaols and workhouses, but

    later studied French Gothic Cathedrals and Churches, being muchinfluenced by the ideas of Augustus Welby Pugin .

    He represented the quintessence of High Victorian Gothicarchitecture, and was responsible for an immense amount of suchwork.

    He was concerned with the creation, restoration and alteration of some730 buildings.

    His first work was The Royal Wanstead School, Essex, formerly anOrphan Asylum. One year later, he built St Giles Church, Camberwell(1841-3).His restorations began with renovations of Ely Cathedral in 1847 and

    included Westminster Abbey (where he was made surveyor in 1849,and worked on the north front and the chapter house). He restoredmany other cathedrals and churches.Some of his best work is St Giles' Church in Camberwell, The AlbertMemorial in Kensington Gardens, the Midland Railway Terminus Hotelat St Pancras and the Foreign Office in Whitehall, all in London.Gilbert Scott achieved great eminence, becoming Professor of Architecture at the Royal Academy (1866-1873).Scott died in London in 1878, and is buried in Westminster Abbey.

    The sloping and irregular form of the site posed certain problems andthe Midland Railway directors were determined to impress Londonwith their new station.They could see the ornateness of Euston , with its famous arch; the

    functional success of Lewis Cubitt 's King's Cross ; the designinnovations in iron, glass and layout by Brunel at Paddington ; and,significantly, the single span roof designs of John Hawkshaw beingbuilt at Charing Cross and Cannon StreetIts original plans, raising the station 6m on iron columns, thusproviding a usable undercroft space and also allowing the approachtracks to cross the Regent's Canal on a bridge rather than a tunnel.

    The Cathedral was extensively damaged inThe Great Fire of 1892 .The roof timbers ignited, which caused the roof to collapse,

    bringing the clerestory walls and piers in the nave down with it.

    The intense heat caused the lead to melt in the glass windows,resulting in the complete destruction of all but two; the solesurviving window can be seen in the Sacristy.Restoration of the Cathedral commenced in 1893, again under

    Kelly's direction.
