Basic Biographical Details

Name: Bucknall & Comper
Designation:  
Born: 1888
Died: 1905
Bio Notes: William Bucknall was born in 1851 and practised in London but little is known about him as he did not seek admission to the RIBA. In 1888 he took J Ninian Comper into partnership. Born on 10 June 1864 in Aberdeen, Comper had been educated at Glenalmond and articled to Bodley & Garner from 1883 to 1887. As Bucknall & Comper they had a large practice in stained glass and church furnishing as well as in building for High Church Anglicans. Virtually all of the work of the practice was designed by Comper and in 1905 the partnership was dissolved, both partners thereafter practising alone.

Bucknall died in 1944.
