Richard Norman Shaw (1831–1912)
"Shaw delighted in his works with the
free, personal composition,
he was a prophet of his time, the first architect who had overcome the styles."
(Source: Hermann Muthesius, Das englische Haus, p.130).
"An eclectic architect, Shaw worked in styles ranging
from Gothic Revival to Neo-Baroque based on 17th century English Palladian
architecture.
The latter became the accepted style for British government
buildings in the 1920s/30s.
Shaw’s elegant town houses relied on his
individual adaptation of the 18th century style known as ‘Queen Anne,’
whilst his country houses derived from a study of the 16th century English
manorial style."
(Source:
www.hitherburyhouse.co.uk).
"What Shaw offered his clients was all part of
an intelligent English Vernacular, a distinct style which flourished in the
Victorian era,
which combined local building traditions with skilful use of
earlier traditions of English architecture,
though primarily influenced
by Gothic Revival.
Although this movement dominated the latter half of the
19th-century and the first decades of the 20th-century,
it was
largely ended by the domestic impact of the First World War.
After that,
the influence of the Continental movements such as the Bauhaus heralded the
ascendancy of Modernism."
