Basic Biographical Details

Name: Edward Barclay Hoare
Designation:  
Born: 1872
Died: 1945
Bio Notes: Edward Barclay Hoare was born in 1872 and educated at Harrow and Magdalen College, Oxford. He was articled to Edward Prioleau Warren from 1895 to 1898 and attended the British School in Athens, subsequently travelling in Sweden, Germany, Belgium, France, Italy, Spain and Greece. At the end of his apprenticeship he commenced practice on his own account with another well-off apprentice of Warren's, Montague Wheeler. Wheeler had been born in 1874 and educated at Marlborough and Trinity Hall, Cambridge, and had attended University College, the South Kensington Schools and Tufton Street Art School. He had travelled in France and Belgium.

Both were admitted LRIBA on 30 January 1911, Hoare's proposers being Warren, Thomas Henry Watson and Arthur Ashbridge. Hoare was elected FRIBA in 1913, proposed by Ashbridge, G O Scorer and W Cooper. The architecture of the Duke's Tower at All Saints Episcopal Church, Inveraray reflects Warren's closeness to Bodley, whose pupil and assistant he had been in 1880-84.

Hoare died in 1945.
