List of architectural works by Edmund Sharpe

For details of works by the practice during its different phases, see Lists of works by Sharpe, Paley and Austin.

Edmund Sharpe (1809–1877) was an English architect, architectural historian, railway engineer, and sanitary reformer. Between 1832 and 1835, in receipt of a travelling fellowship, he studied architecture in Germany and southern France. He started his career as an architect in Lancashire in 1835, initially on his own, then from 1845 in partnership with Edward Paley. He mainly designed churches but also some secular buildings, including domestic properties and schools. Sharpe pioneered the use of terracotta as a structural material in church construction, designing what were known as "pot" churches. During this time he also worked on the development of railways in Northwest England, including the design of bridges and the planning of new lines. In 1851, he resigned from his architectural practice, and in 1856 he moved from Lancaster and spent the rest of his career mainly as a railway engineer, first in North Wales, then in Switzerland and southern France. He returned to England in 1866 to live in Scotforth near Lancaster, where he designed a final church near to his home. ^[1]

Sharpe achieved national recognition as an architectural historian. He devised a new scheme for classifying the styles of English Gothic architecture, published books of detailed architectural drawings, and towards the end of his career organized expeditions to study and draw buildings in England and France. In 1875, he was awarded the Royal Gold Medal of the Royal Institute of British Architects. He wrote a number of articles on architecture, and was very critical of much of the restoration of medieval churches that had become a major occupation of contemporary architects. ^[1]

This list contains the architectural works designed by Sharpe before Paley joined him as a partner, plus his last church.

St Cuthbert's Church	Redmarshall, County Durham 54°35′04″N1°24′14″W / 54.5844°N 1.4040°W / 54.5844; -1.4040 (St Cuthbert's Church, Redmarshall)		1845	The church dates from the 13th century and contains much Norman architecture. Sharpe's restoration included replacing the former sash windows in the nave and chapel with mullioned windows in Perpendicular style. The rector of the church was Revd Thomas Austin, whose son, also Thomas, had been a pupil of Sharpe. [23] [157] [158] [159]	I

It replaced an earlier building, and reused some of its material. The rectory cost £1,326, of which £600 came from Queen Anne's Bounty. [23] [160] [161] [162]	II

The church cost £4,000, and could seat between 650 and 700 people. Its plan consists of a five-bay nave with a clerestory, a southwest steeple, north and south aisles, a two-bay chancel, a west porch, and a south porch contained in the tower. The spire was built from inferior material, and had to be rebuilt in 1912. [163] [164] [165] [166]	II*

He returned to Romanesque Revival style for its design, and to the use of terracotta in its construction. The church was built mainly in brick, with terracotta for the dressings. Memorials to Sharpe and to his wife are in the chancel. [23] [167] [168] [169] [170]	II
