John Francis Bentley
This is the first biography of John Francis Bentley (1839-1902), best known as architect of Westminster Cathedral, since his daughter Winefride de l'H�pital's Westminster Cathedral and its Architect (1919). Bentley also converted, and, after setting up his own practice in 1860, came to be widely recognised as the best Catholic architect of his time. Bentley was born in Doncaster, Yorkshire, and went to London to work in the office of Henry Clutton, a distinguished High Victorian architect who became a Roman Catholic in 1856.
He had remarkable skill in the design of woodwork, metalwork, stained glass, and organ cases, all of which are covered in the book. He built comparatively few complete churches, but did extensive work in adding to and furnishing other architects' churches. His finest parish church is Holy Rood, Watford, but the climax of his career was the commission in 1894
