This is the first biography of John Francis Bentley (1839-1902),
best known as architect of Westminster Cathedral, since his
daughter Winefride de l'Hopital's Westminster Cathedral and its
Architect (1919). Bentley was born in Doncaster, Yorkshire, and
went to London to work in the office of Henry Clutton, a
distinguished High Victorian architect who became a Roman Catholic
in 1856. Bentley also converted, and, after setting up his own
practice in 1860, came to be widely recognised as the best Catholic
architect of his time. He built comparatively few complete
churches, but did extensive work in adding to and furnishing other
architects' churches. He had remarkable skill in the design of
woodwork, metalwork, stained glass, and organ cases, all of which
are covered in the book. His finest parish church is Holy Rood,
Watford, but the climax of his career was the commission in 1894 to
design Westminster Cathedral, which was almost complete when he
died in 1902.
