John Chessel Buckler (1793 - 1894)
The Nave of Westminster Abbey
Watercolour
25 x 17 cm
Signed, titled and dated 1810.
John Chessell Buckler was a British architect, the eldest son of the architect John Buckler. His work included restorations of country houses and at the University of Oxford.
Buckler received art lessons from the painter Francis Nicholson. He began working for his father's architectural practice in 1810, and ran it from 1830 onwards with his younger brother George. They worked in partnership until 1842.
Buckler did a lot of work in Oxford, carrying out repairs and additions to St. Mary's Church, and Oriel, Brasenose, Magdalen, and Jesus Colleges. He also restored Oxburgh Hall, Norfolk, and Hengrave Hall, Suffolk, and designed Dunston Hall, Norfolk, and Butleigh Court in Somerset.
In 1836 he came second, behind Charles Barry, in the competition to rebuild the Palace of Westminster following its destruction by fire.
Buckler's writings included the text accompanying his father's engravings of Views of the Cathedral Churches of England and Wales (1822). In 1823 he published 'Observations on the Original Architecture of St. Mary Magdalen College, Oxford', in which he expressed his hostility towards changes in the quadrangle of Magdalen College. Some of his later writings, such as 'A History of the Architecture of the Abbey Church of St Alban' (1847), were written in collaboration with his own son, Charles Alban Buckler. He wrote a further polemical work, 'A Description And Defense Of The Restorations Of The Exterior Of Lincoln Cathedral' (1866), a scathing response to accusations that, in capacity as honorary architect to Lincoln Cathedral, he had overseen a damaging restoration involving the 'scraping' of the cathedral fabric.
He died at the grand old age of 100 in 1894.
