Joshua Arthur Rodrigues Brandon

Joshua Arthur Rodrigues Brandon (9 February 1822, London – 11 December 1847, 11 Beaufort Buildings, Strand) was an English architect and author. Prior to an early death aged twenty-five, his architectural practice (particularly in church architecture) was promising and growing.

With his brother Raphael he built the new corn exchange at Colchester, Essex (1845); Portswood Chapel (1847) and Christ Church, Southampton (1847); and All Saints' Church, Sculthorpe, Norfolk (1847), Holy Trinity Church Leverstock Green, Hertfordshire, for which he accepted the commission in 1846, dying before its completion in 1849.[1]

Publications

With his brother he researched three seminal works on Early English architecture:
