"Fothergill Watson (he later changed his name to Watson Fothergill)
was one of the leading local architects practicing in the Nottingham
area from about 1870 to 1906. During these thirty or so years he
designed over a hundred buildings including houses, banks, churches,
shops and warehouses; many of which still survive today. He worked
in the Gothic revival and Old English vernacular styles; very popular
in the Victorian times. These styles were loosely based on medieval
churches and castles, and 16th & 17th century tudor buildings.."
