Charles Worley

Charles H Worley (1853–1906) was a British architect.

Allinson puts forward that Charles Worley was the son of the architect Robert James Worley (1850–1930), of the architectural practice Worley & Saunders, who was "involved in all kinds of speculative developments". They are listed jointly as the architects of 41 Harley Street. However, as Robert was born in 1850, and Charles was articled in 1870, a father and son relationship is most improbable. In fact Allinson is incorrect in this assumption as Charles Worley was the son of Joshua Worley, a shipbroker based in London.

English Heritage also confirm, probably incorrectly that Robert and Charles were brothers. This is unlikely since genealogical records show that Charles had two brothers, Joshua b. 1847, Francis b. 1849 and one sister, Ann b. 1851.

Worley was articled to Rowland Plumbe in 1870.

In 1892, he was the architect for 42 Harley Street, London.

From 1892–93, he built Wimpole House, at 28–29 Wimpole Street, Marylebone, London.

In 1898, he built The Crown Hotel a Grade II* listed public house at 23–24 Aberdeen Place, St John's Wood, London, now known as Crocker's Folly.
