Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox architect Ernest William Farebrother (died 1891) was an architect who worked in Louth and Grimsby, Lincolnshire.

Career

Farebrother was articled to James Fower of Louth for four years from September 1870 and after serving his articles remained as a clerk with Fowler until April 1876. At this point he left Fowler’s office, apparently because he had been carrying on work on his own behalf, but he was proposed ARIBA by Fowler in November 1877. He proceeded to FRIBA in Jan 1885, again proposed by Fowler and also by William Watkins of Lincoln. He set up an independent practice in Louth in 1876 and moved to Grimsby in 1879.[1] His office was at Victoria Chambers, 89 Victoria Street[2] and he lived at Corby House, Wellowgate, which he designed.[3] His daughter Violet Farebrother was a noted actress who starred in three Hitchcock films.
