Edward William Blore
1827-1885. Vice-Master; antiquarian artist and architect. 
He promoted the restoration of this Chapel.
Blore is most notable for his completion of John Nash's design of Buckingham Palace, following Nash's dismissal. He completed the palace in a style similar to but plainer than that intended by Nash. In 1847 Blore returned to the palace and designed the great facade facing The Mall. He also worked at Lambeth Palace and St James's Palace in London, the CUP's Pitt Building in Cambridge, and a large number of other designs in both England and Scotland, including restoring Salisbury Tower at Windsor Castle.
