Samuel Sanders Teulon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Samuel Sanders Teulon (1812-1873) was a notable English architect of the 19th century.
Teulon was born in Greenwich, in south-east London, the son of a cabinet-maker from a French Huguenot family (his younger brother, William Milford Teulon (1823-1900), also became an architect).
Samuel attended the Royal Academy Schools, exhibited at the Academy in 1835, and commenced practice as an architect in 1838. He was a friend of George Gilbert Scott and became a member of the council of the Royal Institute of British Architects.
He particularly specialised in Victorian Gothic styles of churches, but also delivered several country houses and even complete villages – indeed, his first large-scale commission came in 1848 from the Duke of Bedford to design cottages for the Thorney estate.
Other clients included the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Duke of Marlborough, the Duke of St Albans and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.
