Brett, Boyd and Bosanquet were a partnership of British architects, known particularly for their post-war church designs in southern England.

The founders were Lionel Brett [1] (1963–2004), Kenneth Boyd and Peter Bosanquet (died 2005).

Lionel Gordon Baliol Brett, 4th Viscount Esher, 4th Baron Esher CBE was a British peer, architect and town-planner. He succeeded to his title on the death of his father in 1963.

Brett and Boyd also collaborated on two New Towns: Hatfield and the Ghyllgrove estate in Basildon. [2]
