Harry Stuart Goodhart-Rendel CBE (1887 in Cambridge[1] – 21 June 1959 in Westminster, London[2]) was a British architect, writer and musician.

Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony, Crawley (architect: H. S. Goodhart-Rendel)

Life edit

Harry Stuart Goodhart was born on 29 May 1887 in Cambridge, England. He added the additional name Rendel by royal licence in 1902.[3] He was educated at Eton College,[4] and read music at Trinity College, Cambridge. He worked briefly for Sir Charles Nicholson, and then set up his own architectural practice. He is known for his church projects.[5] In 1936 he converted to Catholicism. [6]

He was Oxford's Slade Professor of Fine Art, from 1933 to 1936.[7] His 1934 lectures on Victorian architecture were considered important, as part of the informed revival of interest in Victoriana, by Nikolaus Pevsner.[8] He served as president of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) from 1937 to 1939.

He was appointed a CBE in 1955.

Although he was a good 25 years older than Michael Noble, later Baron Glenkinglas, the two had a friendly feud based on the much nastier Andrew Noble - George Whitwick Rendel feud.
