Saint Alban's Vicarage, Lindsell Road, Altrincham

Built in 1914 to accompany Austin & Paley’s 1900 church of St Alban’s. Pevsner detected the influence of Norman Shaw, whilst later reviewers favoured Edgar Wood. Pevsner also noted that Roger Oldham, the architect and illustrator, acted as consultant. The two men lived on the same road in Timperley, so would have known each other well. [Richard Fletcher]
