Henry Vaughan (b. 1845 - d. 1917)
Born in Cheshire, England, the prolific and talented church architect, Henry Vaughan, began his apprenticeship under George Frederick Bodley, an important leader in the English Gothic Revival movement.  In 1881, Vaughan came to the United States, settling in Boston, and finding great success with the Episcopal and Catholic churches.

Vaughan, who popularized the Gothic Revival style in America, designed his buildings for “the community.”  His notable projects include the Chapel of the Society of Saint Margaret, Boston, MA; St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, Dorchester, MA; portions of the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine, New York; Washington National Cathedral; The Episcopal Church of the Mediator in Kingsbridge, Bronx, NY; and Christ Church, New Haven, CT, among many others.
