Benjamin Bucknall (1833 – 16 November 1895) was an English architect of the Gothic Revival in South West England and South Wales, and then of neo-Moorish architecture in Algeria. His most noted works include the uncompleted Woodchester Mansion in Gloucestershire, England[1] and his restoration of the Villa Montfeld in El Biar, Algiers.[2]
Career
In 1851 Bucknall began work as a millwright, but in 1852 William Leigh helped him to start work for the architect Charles Hansom in Clifton, Bristol.[1] Hansom was a Roman Catholic and in 1852 Bucknall converted to Catholicism.[1]
Bucknall admired the work of the French architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, and travelled to visit him in France in 1861[1] and in Lausanne, Switzerland in 1872.[3] Between 1874 and 1881 Bucknall translated five of Viollet-le-Duc's works into English.[3]
Family
Bucknall was the fifth of seven sons born to Edwin and Mary Bucknall of Rodborough, Gloucs.[1] In 1862 Bucknall was married to Henrietta King.[3] After 1864 they moved to Swansea and by 1869 were living in Oystermouth.[3] The Bucknalls had four children: Mary, Charles (born 1864), Edgar (born 1868) and Beatrice (born 1870).[3]
Bucknall's health deteriorated and he spent the winter of 1876–77 in Algiers.[2] In 1878 he settled there permanently, leaving Henrietta and the children in Gloucestershire.[2] The 1881 Census recorded Henrietta and Mary living at Bisley, Gloucestershire.[2] Some of their children visited Bucknall in Algiers, and Edgar died there in a boating accident in 1889.[2]
In Algiers Bucknall changed his architectural style to neo-Moorish architecture, in which he built villas, notably in the El Biar district of Algiers.[2] His works include a restoration of the Villa Montfeld, now the residence of the US Ambassador to Algeria.[4] He died in Algiers in 1895 and is buried there.[2] A road in Algiers was named Chemin Bucknall in his honour, but since independence it has been renamed.[2]
