British architect (c. 1832–1873)
Former court house (later a probate office), New Road, Oxford (1863) Charles Buckeridge (circa 1832–73) was a British Gothic Revival architect who trained as a pupil of Sir George Gilbert Scott .[2] He practised in Oxford 1856–68 and in London from 1869.[1] He was made an Associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1861.[1]
Family
Charles was born in France, the son of Charles Elliott Buckeridge and his wife Eliza, the daughter of John Eyre of Reading, Berkshire . He grew up in Salisbury in Wiltshire . He was married and raised three sons and three daughters in Oxford , including John Hingeston Buckeridge , who was a church architect, and Charles Edgar Buckeridge (1864–1898),[3] who painted church interiors. Charles was brother-in-law of the botanist Giles Munby .
He died of heart disease at the age of 40 on 1 September 1873 in Hampstead, and was buried at St John's Church there.[4]
Work
Much of Buckeridge's work was for parish churches and other institutions of the Church of England . Dates that Sherwood and Pevsner cite for work at Charlbury and Emmington suggest that these works, like that at Bletchingdon , were completed posthumously.
