Life

Edward Goldie Edward Goldie 18561921 Architects Historical Figures

He was born in Sheffield in 1856. His father was George Goldie. He went to school at Ushaw College in County Durham, as his father had previously done. In 1875, he was articled to Goldie & Child. It was an architectural firm which his father ran with Charles Edwin Child. After his apprenticeship ended in 1880, he remained at the firm as a partner, so it became Goldie, Child & Goldie. From 1893, Edward ran the firm on his own. In 1913, he was joined by his son, Joseph Goldie, and the firm became Edward Goldie & Son until 1953.

Joseph Goldie

Edward Goldie's son, Joseph Goldie (1882–1953), followed in the steps of his father and grandfather and became an ecclesiastical architect designing churches for the Roman Catholic church. Joseph Goldie, with his father, were the architects for St John the Evangelist Church in Horsham. After his father's death, he designed Church of Our Lady and St Peter in Leatherhead in 1923, St Thomas More Church in Dulwich in 1928, St Patrick's Church in Cardiff in 1929, Church of the Assumption of Our Lady in Englefield Green in 1930 and St Dunstan's Church in Woking, which was demolished in 2008.
