Charles Buckeridge (circa 1832–73) was a British Gothic Revival architect who trained as a pupil of Sir George Gilbert Scott. He practised in Oxford 1856–68 and in London from 1869. He was made an Associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1861.

Family

Charles was born in France, the son of Charles Elliott Buckeridge and his wife, Eliza, the daughter of John Eyre of Reading, Berkshire. He grew up in Salisbury in Wiltshire. He married and brought up three sons and three daughters in Oxford, including John Hingeston Buckeridge, the church architect, and Charles Egar Buckeridge, the painter of church interiors. Charles was brother-in-law of the botanist, Giles Munby.

Work

Much of Buckeridge's work was for parish churches and other institutions of the Church of England. Dates that Sherwood and Pevsner cite dates for work at Charlbury and Emmington suggest that these works, like that at Bletchingdon, were completed posthumously.
