Henry Francis Lockwood

Henry Francis Lockwood (18 September 1811 (Doncaster) – 21 July 1878 (Richmond, Surrey)) was an influential English architect active in the North of England.

Lockwood was from a successful Doncaster family. His grandfather, Joseph Lockwood (c1758-1837) was twice mayor of Doncaster and part-owner of the limestone quarries at Levitt Hagg, as was his father, also Joseph (1785-1842), who was also a stonemason and builder. He was the uncle of Sir Frank Lockwood QC (1846–1897), and the great grandfather of the film actress Margaret Lockwood (1916–1990). Another nephew was Louis Lockwood (1864-1907) who was a successful architect in St. Paul, Minnesota. A more distant cousin was Sir Joseph Flawith Lockwood (1904–1991) the Chairman of EMI. Lockwood married his first cousin Emma Dey (1810–1882). Charles Day (boot blacking manufacturer), who made a colossal fortune through the Day and Martin company, was uncle to both of them (their mothers were Day's sisters), and they received various inheritances originating from his wealth. Their ten children were all named 'Day' as a middle name: Emma (1833), Charles (1834), Henry (1836), Arthur (1838), Rosa (1840), Horace (1842), Frederick (1845), Florence (1849), Francis (1851), and Blanche (1853).

Henry Francis Lockwood was articled in London to Peter Frederick Robinson, and given supervision of the extensions to York Castle for which Robinson had been appointed architect in 1826. In 1834 Lockwood published jointly with Adolphus H Cates, The History and Antiquities of the Fortifications to the City of York.

In 1834 Lockwood set up a practice in Hull, where in partnership with Thomas Allom he designed a number of Neo-classical buildings, such as Hull Trinity House (1839), extensions to Hull Royal Infirmary (1840) and Great Thornton Street Church (1843); the pair also designed the expansion of the Brownlow Hill workhouse in Liverpool (1842-1843). The partnership with Allom ended by mutual consent on 30 December 1843. The architect Cuthbert Brodrick served his articles with Lockwood in Hull, but later declined an offer of a partnership.
