William West Neve

William West Neve

William West Neve (7 June 1852 - 26 December 1942) was an English architect in the Arts and Crafts style.

Born in Cranbrook, Kent, Neve was the youngest of seven siblings and the only son of solicitor William Tanner Neve and his spouse Maria West.

Neve was educated at Cheltenham College, Gloucestershire and began his architectural training as an assistant in the office of Richard Norman Shaw before leaving in 1877 to practice on his own at No.5 Bloomsbury Square, London, and later from 1882 working in partnership with fellow ex-Norman Shaw pupil Ernest Newton.

Several Arts and Crafts style buildings by Neve were commissioned by his sister Ellen Maria Monteith – the widow of Glencairn Parish Minister John Monteith - in the village of Moniaive in south-west Scotland, including St. Ninian’s Chapel of Ease (1887), Glenluiart (1899) and an L-shaped row of cottages at Dunreggan (1906).
