Paul Edward Paget
Paul Edward Paget (24 January 1901 – 13 August 1985) was the son of Henry Luke Paget, Bishop of Chester and Elmer Katie Hoare (sister of Sir Samuel Hoare).
He became business partner - and life partner[1] - of John Seely (later Lord Mottistone), whom he met at Cambridge and in 1922 they formed the firm of Seely & Paget, in which Paget concentrated more on clients than on design work.[2] The partners became successful designers of opulent houses in the 1920s, and restored many damaged church buildings after World War II.
Paget was invested as a Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects (FRIBA) and a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries (FSA). He was also a Commander, Royal Victorian Order (CVO).[3]
After Seely's death, Paget succeeded him as Surveyor of the Fabric of St Paul's Cathedral in 1963, but completed little further architectural work.[4] He was master of the Art Workers Guild in 1971.[2]
In August 1971, aged 70, Paget married Verily Anderson in London, England and retired with her and her children to Templewood in Frogshall, Northrepps, Norfolk, a building he had designed for his uncle Samuel Hoare, Viscount Templewood.
