Charles Worley
Charles H Worley (died 1906)[1] was a British architect.
Early life
Allinson states that he was probably 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.[2] However, as Robert was born in 1850, and Charles was articled in 1870, a father and son relationship is most improbable, and brothers would be the more likely possibility.
Worley was articled to Rowland Plumbe in 1870.[1]
Career
In 1892, he was the architect for 42 Harley Street, London.[1]
From 1892-93, he built Wimpole House, at 28- 29a Wimpole Street, Marylebone, London.[1]
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.[3][4]
His surving buildings include 28-30 Wigmore St (1890-92), 42 Harley Street (1892). [2]
