Evelyn Hellicar

Evelyn Hellicar (1862–1929) was an English architect.

Evelyn Arthur Gresley Hellicar was the son of Arthur Gresley Hellicar (1835–1905) and Mary Ann Isabella Malthus (1832–1926). Arthur Hellicar came from the South West of England and served as Vicar of Bromley, Kent from 1865 to 1905.

Evelyn was born in Bromley, the eldest of four children. He was educated at Cranbrook School, Kent. He was articled to Thomas Graham Jackson in 1883; that same year Jackson had added a new chancel to Bromley Parish Church. Hellicar studied at University College London. He received the Donaldson Silver Medal in 1886-87 and the Roger Smith Prize for Construction.

He married Sophie Hildegarde Tate (1866–1957) at Trent, Dorset on 30 August 1894. They had one daughter, Mary Gresley Hellicar (born 1897).

Hellicar died at Corner Cottage, Hambledon, Surrey on 22 July 1929.

Hellicar was a member of Royal Institute of British Architects from 1888-1928. Around 1889 he entered into a short lived partnership with Sydney Vacher at 35 Wellington Street, Strand, London. Together they exhibited a design for a post office in Hertford at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1890. He was Diocesan Architect for Rochester.

Much of his work appears to have come through family connections in the South West, his family connections with the Church of England and through the patronage of Sir Thomas Charles Dewey of South Hill Wood, Bromley.
