Harold Chalton Bradshaw (15 February 1893-15 October 1943)[1] was a Liverpool-born architect.
His design work included the British School at Rome's Common Room (1924, as projected by Edwin Lutyens)[2] and several Commonwealth War Graves Commission First World War cemeteries and memorials, including the Cambrai Memorial in France[3] and the Ploegsteert Memorial to the Missing and its surrounding cemetery.[4] He also designed the Guards Memorial in St James's Park in London.[5]
He received an honorary Degree of Master in Architecture from the University of Liverpool in 1930.[6]
Bradshaw married Mary Taylor, an archaeologist, in 1918. They had three children: Christopher, a graphic designer; Julian, a physicist; and Anthony, a professor of botany.[7]
