Stanley Hinge Hamp

Stanley Hinge Hamp was born in 1877. He formed a partnership with Thomas Edward Collcutt at Bloomsbury Square>London.

• Collcutt was the architect of the Savoy Hotel and President of the Royal Institute of British Architects from 1904 until his death in 1924.
• Stanley Hamp himself was president of the Architectural Association in 1922 and a vice-president of the R.I.B.A. from 1935 to 1937. In 1941 he served on the committee set up to plan the future of the R.I.B.A. after the war.

Stanley Hamp’s original contribution to the architectural development of Gerrards Cross was the adaptation of 'Marsham Farm' (now called 'Marsham Manor'), Marsham Lane, in 1907 for Selby Lowndes. In the same year he designed 'Abbotsmead', also in Marsham Lane. He was also responsible for alterations to Orchehill House for James and William Gurney in 1909.

Stanley Hamp also designed several houses in Beaconsfield, including 'Davenies Barn', which featured in the Studio Yearbook of Decorative Art in 1921.

Stanley Hamp is perhaps best known for the starkly modern flat-roofed houses he designed for sites in Windsor Road, Gerrards Cross, and Cambridge Road, Beaconsfield, in the 1930s. One of these white cement-rendered houses appeared in Architecture Illustrated in September 1934.

Stanley Hamp died in 1968 at the age of 91.
