Henry Vaughan (1845 – June 30, 1917) was a prolific and talented church architect who emigrated to America from England to bring the English Gothic style to the American branch of the Anglican Communion (the Episcopal Church). He was an apprentice under George Frederick Bodley and went on to great success popularizing the Gothic Revival style. Life Vaughan was born in Cheshire, England. When he was a child, his family relocated to Dollar, Clackmannanshire, Scotland. He attended Dollar Academy, and was awarded a bronze medal in art from the school in 1863. He then began his apprenticeship under Bodley, eventually becoming head draftsman at the firm of Bodley and Garner. In 1881, Vaughan came to America traveling on the Atlantic Clipper a packet owned by the Glidden and Williams Shipping Company - whose founder William T. Glidden lived in Newcastle, Maine. Vaughan knew Mr. Glidden and lived at his home on Glidden street in Newcastle in 1881. He designed and built St. Andrews Church in 1883, on Glidden Street in Newcastle which was dedicated on 22 November 1883. Later Vaughn moved to Boston and opened an office in Pemberton Square. He rapidly found success with the Anglican (Episcopal) and Catholic churches. His first commission in the U.S. was the Chapel of the Society of Saint Margaret. In the mid-1880s, Vaughan began to receive commissions from Edward Francis Searles, working on numerous projects continuing through until Vaughan's death. Vaughan never married. Vaughan died in 1917 in the Boston suburb of Newton Centre, and was interred at the Washington National Cathedral.
