Bio Notes: Charles Marriot Oldrid Scott was born in 1880, the son of John Oldrid Scott and grandson of Sir George Gilbert Scott. He was educated at Bradfield and articled to Reginald Theodore Blomfield in April 1898, returning to his father's practice in 1902. The following year he obtained a place with George Frederick Bodley to widen his experience, before returning to his father's office as partner in 1904. He completed the spires of St Mary's Cathedral, Edinburgh but, like his father, obtained no new Scottish commissions. He either did not attempt or did not pass the qualifying exam and was admitted LRIBA in the mass intake of 20 July 1911, his proposers being George Luard Alexander, a colleague at Bodley's, Richard John Tyndall (both of whom had recently passed the qualifying exam and had been admitted ARIBA) and an elderly former assistant of his grandfather's, Charles Robert Baker King.

Charles Marriot Oldrid Scott died in 1952.
