William Butterfield,
architect 1814 - 1900.
A couple of years ago I
spotted a item for sale on eBay. It was an old Victorian
photograph album, with the pictures mainly from around Latton, and
associated with the church architect William Butterfield. I
was attracted by two of the sample pictures as they showed a couple
of the bridges around the Basin area. I managed to acquire the
album at a horrendous price, but it was worth it! The album
was in an extremely poor condition (it even had woodworm), and many
of the photographs had suffered badly. In fact the album was
so bad I dismounted the pages. I was then able to scan the
photographs an 'clean' them up.
Below are the pictures that relate to Latton
and the immediate area. There were a lot more which are mainly
churches which I assume Butterfield had a professional interest in.
I have only briefly captioned them, as I need to do some further
research. Anyone with any information please contact me
via
basin@wantage-waterway.co.uk thanks.
