Ebenezer Trotman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ebenezer Trotman (-1865) was an architect of churches and railway stations. Much of his work was carried out as principal assistant to Sir William Tite.

A nephew of Sir John Easthope, he started work with Tite as a junior clerk, with whom he worked extensively on railway stations in Edinburgh, Perth and in London, and specialised in Tudor and Gothic revival architecture.

Notable works in which he took a principal role in included:

  • Holy Trinity Church, in red brick Gothic, at Oldbury Road, Tewkesbury, (1837)[1]
  • St James's Church, Gerrards Cross, in the Byzantine style, built with Tite (1858–9)[2]

He died at his house in Regent's Park, on New Year's Day 1865, and is buried in Tite's West Norwood Cemetery.
