Life and career

(File:George_Gilbert_Scott full.jpg|thumb|left)Born in Gawcott, Buckingham, Buckinghamshire, Scott was the son of the Reverend Thomas Scott (1780–1835) and grandson of the biblical commentator Thomas Scott. He studied architecture as a pupil of James Edmeston and, from 1832 to 1834, worked as an assistant to Henry Roberts. He also worked as an assistant for his friend, Sampson Kempthorne, who specialised in the design of workhouses,WEB,www.workhouses.org.uk/index.html?buildings/Scott.shtml, George Gilbert Scott (1811–1878) and William Bonython Moffatt (−1887), 23 April 2007, The Workhouse, 29 April 2011, dead,www.workhouses.org.uk/index.html?buildings%2FScott.shtml," title="web.archive.org/web/20071008053005www.workhouses.org.uk/index.html?buildings%2FScott.shtml,">web.archive.org/web/20071008053005www.workhouses.org.uk/index.html?buildings%2FScott.shtml, 8 October 2007, a field in which Scott was to begin his independent career.Bayley 1983, p. 43

Early work

File:Church at Wall, Staffordshire.JPG|thumb|Parish Church of St John in Wall, StaffordshireWall, StaffordshireScott’s first work was built in 1833; it was a vicarage for his father in the village of Wappenham, Northamptonshire.

Scott went on to design several other buildings in the village.WEB, England: Northamptonshire,www.gilbertscott.org.uk/Page3/Page3Content/England/Northamptonshire.cshtml#388, GilbertScott.org, 20 January 2019, In about 1835, Scott took on William Bonython Moffatt as his assistant and later (1838–1845) as his partner.

He added an apse, in a Byzantine style, integrating it to the existing plain structure by substituting a waggon roof for the existing flat ceiling.BOOK, Y parish of Camberwell.

In 1858 he designed ChristChurch Cathedral, Christchurch, New Zealand which now lies partly ruined following the earthquake in 2011 and subsequent attempts by the Anglican Church authorities to demolish it. Demolition was blocked after appeals by the people of Christchurch, and in September 2017 the Christchurch Diocesan Synod announced that the cathedral would be reinstated.WEB, Media Releases,cathedralconversations.co.nz/media-releases/, live,cathedralconversations.co.nz/media-releases/," title="web.archive.org/web/20200615222540cathedralconversations.co.nz/media-releases/,">web.archive.org/web/20200615222540cathedralconversations.co.nz/media-releases/, 15 June 2020, Cathedral Conversations, Anglican Diocese of Christchurch, The choir stalls at Lancing College in Sussex, which Scott designed with Walter Tower, were among many examples of his work that incorporated green men.JOURNAL, Hayman, Richard, April 2010, Ballad of the Green Man, History Today, 60, 4, Later, Scott went beyond copying mediaeval English gothic for his Victorian Gothic or Gothic Revival buildings, and began to introduce features from other styles and European countries as evidenced in his Midland red-brick construction, the Midland Grand Hotel at London’s St Pancras Station, from which approach Scott believed a new style might emerge.{{citation needed|date=August 2012}}(File:Catherine Parr’s tomb in St Mary’s Chapel, Sudeley Castle (5063).jpg|thumb|Tomb of Catherine Parr, designed by Gilbert Scott)In 1863, after restoration of the chapel at Sudeley Castle, the remains of Catherine Parr were placed in a new neo-Gothic canopied tomb designed by Gilbert ScottBOOK, Tomaini, Thea, 2017, The Corpse as Text: Disinterment and Antiquarian Enquiry, 1700-1900, Gloucestershire, Boydell & Brewer, 152, 9781782049517, and created by sculptor John Birnie Philip.BOOK, Murray, John, 1872, A Handbook for Travellers in Gloucestershire, Worcestershire, and Herefordshire,books.google.com/books?id=XLaMuyFN-bQC&pg=PA163, Gloucestershire, 163, WEB,royalcentral.co.uk/features/the-english-queen-buried-amidst-a-castle-garden-154737/, The English queen buried amidst a castle garden, 15 January 2021, Royal Centre, 7 March 2021, a new tomb, carved by John Birnie Philip, and featuring a full length depiction of her.

It was a commission on behalf of Queen Victoria in memory of her husband, Prince Albert.Scott advocated the use of Gothic architecture for secular buildings, rejecting what he called “the absurd supposition that Gothic architecture is exclusively and intrinsically ecclesiastical.” He was the winner of a competition to design new buildings in Whitehall to house the Foreign Office and War Office. Before work began, however, the administration which had approved his plans went out of office. Palmerston, the new Prime Minister, objected to Scott’s use of the Gothic, and the architect – after some resistance – drew up new plans in a more acceptable style.Eastlake 1872, pp. 311– 2Scott designed the memorial to Thomas Clarkson in Wisbech, where his brother Rev John Scott was vicar.

Other restoration work

Scott restored the Inner Gateway (also known as the Abbey Gateway) of Reading Abbey in 1860–61 after its partial collapse.BOOK, Tyack, Bradley and Pevsner, Geoffrey, Simon and Nikolaus, The Buildings of England: Berkshire, 2010, Yale University Press, New Haven and London, 978-0-300-12662-4, 443, St Mary’s of Charity in Faversham, which was restored (and transformed, with an unusual spire and unexpected interior) by Scott in 1874, and Dundee Parish Church, and designed the chapels of Exeter College, Oxford, St John’s College, Cambridge and King’s College, London. He also designed St Paul’s Cathedral, Dundee.Lichfield Cathedral’s ornate West Front was extensively renovated by Scott from 1855 to 1878. He restored the cathedral to the form he believed it took in the Middle Ages, working with original materials where possible and creating imitations when the originals were not available. It is recognised{{who|date=November 2012}} as some of his finest work.In 1854 Gilbert Scott began a restoration of Sudeley Castle “working on the western side of the inner court in the style of the existing Medieval and Elizabethan buildings” and subsequently began the restoration of St Mary’s chapel, with the assistance of John Drayton Wyatt.WEB,gilbertscott.org/sudeley-castle-and-st-marys-chapel-sudeley/, Sudeley Castle and St Mary’s Chapel, Sudeley, 20 March 2018, Gilbert Scott, 7 March 2021, Directory of British Architects 1834-1914, 2 volumes (Continium, London, 2001), vol.
