E B Lamb _ Architect to St Mary’s Church, Bagby, North Yorkshire

Edward Buckton Lamb (1806–1869) was a British architect who exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1824. Lamb was labelled a 'Rogue Gothic Revivalist', and his designs were roundly criticised for breaking with convention, especially by The Ecclesiologist (a publication of The Cambridge Camden Society). More recently, Nikolaus Pevsner called him "the most original though certainly not the most accomplished architect of his day”.

He was born in London, England, his father James Lamb being a government official. He was articled to Lewis Nockalls Cottingham

He was selected to design the chapel for the Brompton Hospital, then being built to the designs of Frederick John Francis, and was retained to complete the main building, in collaboration with Francis.

He died in the summer of 1869 and was buried on the western side of Highgate Cemetery.

Lamb's son, Edward Beckitt Lamb, was also an architect. He and John Pollard Seddon in 1904 created a design for a new Imperial Monumental Halls and Tower at Westminster, which was supposed to house the monuments alongside imperial trophies. The Gothic Revival tower would have been the tallest building in the UK with a similar floor area to the Abbey next door. Several different drawings from different angles were created.
