Samuel Sanders Teulon (2 March 1812 – 2 May 1873) was an English Gothic Revival architect, noted for his use of polychrome brickwork and the complex planning of his buildings.
Family
Teulon was born in 1812 in
Huguenot family. His younger brother William Milford Teulon
(1823–1900) also became an architect.
Career
He was articled to George Legg, and later worked as an assistant to the Bermondsey-based architect
Home Counties.[2]
He was a friend of George Gilbert Scott and became a member of the Council of the Royal Institute of British Architects on 6 January 1835. Between 1841 and 1842 he undertook a long study tour of continental Europe with Ewan Christian who remained a lifelong friend and became his executor. Also in company during the tour was Horace Jones who was later knighted and became architect to the Corporation of the City of London and Hayter Lewis, later Professor of Architecture at University College, London.[3][4]
He built his first church, the
Greek cross, with the recessed angles filled in by the tower, vestry, chancel aisles.[2]
Teulon's religious views were Prince Albert
.
His work included the remodelling of several unfashionable 18th-century churches to suit contemporary tastes.
Archibald Tait, the Bishop of London, praised his alterations at St. Mary's, Ealing, as "the transformation of a Georgian monstrosity into the semblance of a Byzantine Basilica".[2]
As well as Gothic Revival churches, he designed several country houses and even complete villages, as he did at Hunstanworth in County Durham in 1863.[9]
Style
Despite his classical training, Teulon's early designs were mostly in imitation of Tudor and Elizabethan styles, and he soon became an enthusiastic follower of the latest developments of the
St Stephen's Church, Rosslyn Hill, Hampstead, (1869–76) the exterior is of purple-brown brick,[12] of subtly varied tones[13] with light stone trimming. The massing of the building is also simpler than in his earlier designs.[12]
Death
For the last 20 years of his life until his death on 2 May 1873,St Stephen's Church, Rosslyn Hill. He is buried on the west side of Highgate Cemetery,[14] not far from the family vault of his former neighbour on Hampstead Green, Rowland Hill.
His great great great nephew, Alan Teulon, published a book on S.S. Teulon in 2009.[15] He was survived by four sons and four daughters.[2]
