John Oldrid Scott

(b London, 1841; d 30 May 1913). Brother of (2) George Gilbert Scott II. He entered his father's office as a pupil in 1860 and subsequently acted as his principal assistant before inheriting the practice in 1878. He showed none of the originality of his elder brother, from whom he became estranged, and he remained loyal to the architectural approach of his father. In consequence, he was remote from the changed architectural climate of the late Victorian years and suffered from criticism by the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings of the several cathedral restoration projects he inherited from his father, notably at St Albans, Hereford and Selby Abbey. Perhaps John Oldrid Scott's most interesting building is the Greek Orthodox church of St Sophia (1877-9; see BYZANTINE REVIVAL) in Bayswater, London, conspicuous for being not Gothic but Byzantine in style.
