Mary Beaumont Medd (née Crowley, 4 August 1907 - 6 June 2005) was a British architect, known for public buildings including schools.[1] Together with her husband David Medd (1917–2009), she joined a team of architects commissioned to build schools in Hertfordshire after the Second World War. Together, the Medds became leading school designers in England and Wales.[2]
As Mary Crowley, working with Cecil George Kemp, she designed three houses at 102, 104 and 106 Orchard Road, Tewin, Hertfordshire, in 1935–36.[3]
National Life Stories conducted an oral history interview (C467/29) with Mary Medd in 1998 for its Architects Lives' collection held by the British Library.[4]
