William Henry Crossland

William Henry Crossland (c. 1834-1909) was a nineteenth century architect from Leeds, England.

He is best remembered for his three most important commissions.

The first is Rochdale Town Hall, built in 1866-71.

The second is the Holloway Sanatorium, built in 1873-85. This was a project commissioned by the philanthropist Thomas Holloway, and is located at Virginia Water, Surrey.

The third, which was also commissioned by Thomas Holloway, is the Founder's Building at Royal Holloway College, a short distance away from the Sanatorium in Egham, Surrey. This was built in 1883-88.

The Holloway Sanatorium and Royal Holloway College were inspired by the Cloth Hall of Ypres in Belgium and the Château de Chambord in the Loire Valley of France, and are considered by some to be among the most remarkable buildings in the South of England.

The student bar in Founder's Building at Royal Holloway is named 'Crosslands' in his honour.
