sps1955's photos with the keyword: Charles Humfrey

A development of c.1825 on land owned by Charles Humfrey, banker, architect and sometime mayor of Cambridge, whose own house stood to the south, on the left of the photo [Sara Payne, Down your street: Cambridge past and present , vol. 2 (1984), pp.30-32]. It is said that the cottages were designed with first-floor windows on the north side only so as not to overlook Humfrey's garden; presumably Humfrey was the architect although his involvement is not mentioned by the listing ( list.historicengland.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1331895 ) or by the RCHM ( www.british-history.ac.uk/rchme/cambs/pp358-391 , item 263).

From S. Perpendicular W tower (built following a bequest in 1493) with the remainder rebuilt to the design of Charles Humfrey; work began in 1806 and appears to have been complete by 1812. I suspect that the window in the S transept is a Victorian replacement - compare the window in the corresponding transept on the N side seen in the next shot. The E end of St Mary, which stands in the same churchyard, is visible on the right.

From NE. Perpendicular W tower (built following a bequest in 1493) with the remainder rebuilt to the design of Charles Humfrey; work began in 1806 and appears to have been complete by 1812. I suspect that the chancel window is a Victorian replacement - compare the window in the N transept.
