Edward Doran Webb

Edward Doran Webb FSA (1864–1931^[1]) was a British ecclesiastical architect.^{[2][page needed]}

Based in Wiltshire, he worked on several churches including at Salisbury,^[3] Finchley,^[2] Swindon and Aldermaston.^[4] Webb also designed the Birmingham Oratory.^[5] He had strong connections to the University of Cambridge, and designed a large stone country house for a senior member of St John's College in the west of the city before retiring; the limestone house is in the stately Queen Anne style.^{[6][page needed]}

Webb was a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London, and this affiliation may be the source of his connection to scholars at the University of Cambridge.^{[7][page needed]} He was married to Elsie Janet Charlton on 30 January 1899 and lived at Gaston Manor in Tisbury, Wiltshire almost until the end of his life.^[8]
