Basic Biographic Details

Montague Wheeler
Architect
Year Only
1874
Exact Date
15/09/1937
Montague Wheeler was born in 1874 and educated at Marlborough and Trinity Hall, Cambridge. He was articled to Edward Prioleau Warren from 1892 to 1895, and attended University College, the South Kensington Schools and Tufton Street Art School. He commenced independent practice in 1898 in partnership with another former apprentice of Warren's, Edward Barclay Hoare. Hoare had been born in 1872 and educated at Harrow and Magdalen College, Oxford. He had attended the British School in Athens, and had travelled in Sweden, Germany, Belgium, France, Italy, Spain and Greece.

Both were admitted LRIBA on 30 January 1911 and FRIBA in 1913. 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.

Wheeler appears to have been practising alone by 1933, when he took Charles Melville Seth-Ward (born 1868) into partnership. This partnership lasted until 1935; Wheeler died two years later, on 15 September 1937.
