Timeline

1904

Raymond Charles Erith RA FRIBA (7 August 1904 – 30 November 1973) was a leading classical architect in England during the period dominated by the modern movement after the Second World War.

His work demonstrates his continual interest in expanding the classical tradition to establish a progressive modern architecture, drawing on the past.

1921

He trained at the Architectural Association (1921–26) and worked for Percy Richard Morley Horder and Verner Owen Rees before setting up his own practice in London in 1928.

He was commissioned by his aunt to remodel her house, Meadowside, at Loughton and to build an additional house to its rear.

1929

From 1929–39 he was in partnership with Bertram Hume, with whom he won an international competition for replanning the Lower Norrmalm area of Stockholm (1934).

1934

In 1934 he married Pamela, younger daughter of Arthur and Elsie Spencer Jackson, who had also qualified at the AA.

They had four daughters.

1936

In 1936 they moved to Dedham, Essex.

1937

Among Erith's early commissions were Great House, Dedham (1937) and gates, lodges and cottages in Windsor Great Park for King George VI (1939).

1938

In 1938 the Dedham Vale Society was founded with Erith as its founding Chairman.

As a young man he looked back to the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries to pick up the thread of tradition while it was still unbroken and carry it forward from there.

This led him to John Soane, an important influence on his early designs but later he turned to earlier sources of inspiration and especially to Palladio and the robust practicality of his farmhouse villas.

1940

During the Second World War from 1940–45 Erith became a farmer in Essex, where he lived for the rest of his life.

This experience and his country practice in East Anglia immediately after the war gave him a profound understanding of the local vernacular architecture, which was to have a subtle influence on his mature style.

1946

In 1946 Erith opened an office in Ipswich, moving it to Dedham in 1958.

1948

These showed many of his most important commissions, as well as unexecuted schemes such as a Factory, Warehouse, Offices etc. at Ipswich (1948), a House in Devonshire to be called the Redoubt for Mr Freeman (1949) and Variation on a theme by Palladio: Design for a Church in Italy (1952).

1951

Major work includes 15,17 and 19, Aubrey Walk, London W8 (1951), The Pediment, Aynho, Northamptonshire, and its garden buildings (1956–73), the Provost's Lodgings at the Queen's College, Oxford (1958), and the Folly in Herefordshire (1961).

1954

Architectural historian Nickolaus Pevsner wrote in 1954 “There is nothing at Dedham to hurt the eye”.

1955

He also remodelled numerous houses including Morley Hall, Wareside, Hertfordshire (1955), Wellingham House, Ringmer, Sussex (1955–71), Hunton Manor, Hampshire (1962), and Shelley's Folly, Cooksbridge, Sussex (1968).

1958

Erith was appointed architect for the reconstruction of Downing Street (1958), elected a Royal Academician (1959) and served on the Royal Fine Art Commission (1960–73).

1959

His architecture ranges from cottages and small houses to public buildings such as the Library and quadrangle at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford (1959–1963), Jack Straw's Castle on Hampstead Heath (1963) and the New Common Room Building at Gray's Inn (1971).

The best known of his many restorations was the reconstruction of Nos 10 and 11 and complete rebuilding of No. 12, Downing Street (1959–63).

1960

His larger country houses are Bentley, Sussex (1960–71), Wivenhoe New Park, Essex (1962), and King's Walden Bury, Hertfordshire (1969).

1962

From 1962 onwards Erith’s designs were regularly exhibited at the RA in the form of linocuts by Quinlan Terry, who became his pupil in 1962 and subsequently his partner.

1973

After Erith's death in 1973, his partner Quinlan Terry carried on his practice (now Quinlan Terry Architects).

That Erith was an outstanding draughtsman is seen in his sketchbooks, working drawings and designs for the many competitions he entered in his early years.

His fine drawings were regularly exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibitions.

1976

Since his death, exhibitions of his work have been held by the Royal Academy of Arts (1976), Gainsborough's House, Sudbury (1979), Niall Hobhouse (1986) and Sir John Soane’s Museum (2004).
