Henry Goddard (1813-1899) was an English architect who was a member of a family of architects who worked in Leicester. He moved to Lincoln and was later in partnership with his son Francis Henry Goddard
Career
In 1838 he went to Lincoln and became a partner to William Adams Nicholson. He became architect to the Great Northern Railway Company and surveyor to Trinity College, Cambridge.[1] Goddard was in partnership with his son, sometime after 1872, at City Chambers in the Lincoln High Street. His senior assistant was William Watkins, who was to set up his own architectural practice in Lincoln. Architectural drawings by Goddard are in the British Architectural Library.
Family
Goddard was the nephew of Henry Goddard (architect 1792-1868) of Leicester and cousin of Joseph Goddard (architect 1840-1900), also of Leicester.[2] Care should be taken not to confuse the work of Henry Goddard and Goddard and Co. of Leicester with that of Henry Goddard and Goddard and Son of Lincoln. For work of the Leicester architects see The Goddard Trail[3]
Works
Initially Goddard appears to have specialised in Church building and Rectories and Vicarages. He probably followed Edward James Willson as the Surveyor to the Linco|nshire County Committee and, following the Militia Act of 1852, was commissioned to build the Burton Road Barracks for the Loyal North Lincoln Militia. It has also been suggested that he may have responsible for a similar Barracks in 1858 for the South Lincolnshire Militia at Grantham in Sandon Road[4]
