Abstract

At his death in October 1886, E. W. Godwin was described as ‘A brilliant if somewhat eccentric character, who might. . . have become the first architect of his age’. If he is remembered today, it is as a rather fey figure, a Bunthorne of an architect, building Queen Anne houses for aesthetes. But this view ignores the breadth of his activities which ranged from Roman archaeology to theatre design, and the diversity of his architectural designs, from the doctrinaire Ruskinian Northampton Town Hall to the startlingly avant-garde first design for Frank Miles’ house. Between these two seemingly incompatible extremes, chronologically and in many ways stylistically, lies Dromore Castle.
