Samuel Burleigh Gabriel (11 August 1816 – 26 June 1865) was a Victorian architect who practised in Bristol, England.[4] For a number of years he was in partnership with another architect, John Hicks, who later worked at Dorchester.[5] Their offices were at 28 Corn Street, Bristol.[4]
Gabriel designed parish churches for the Church of England and houses for private clients.
One of Gabriel's last commissions was Ashley House in Bristol for Sir Charles Wathen.[6] Wathen served as Mayor of Bristol and contributed to the building of several of its public buildings.[6] In 2008 there was a proposal to demolish Ashley House[6] and SAVE Britain's Heritage responded by supporting a campaign for the building's retention.[6]
