Henry Goodridge

Henry Goodridge

Henry Edmund Goodridge (1797, Bath – 26 October 1864) was an architect whose work started in the 1820s.

His neoclassical buildings in Bath include Cleveland Bridge, one of the earliest shopping arcades (The Corridor) and Bath's much loved folly Beckford's Tower, commissioned by the eccentric William Thomas Beckford and now owned by the Bath Preservation Trust and operated as a museum. Goodridge also designed the Byzantine gateway to the cemetery adjacent to Beckford's Tower in which William Beckford's sarcophagus stands.

His designs outside Bath include the chapel of Downside Abbey (1828), Devizes Castle (1840) and the library of Hamilton Palace (1845).

Goodridge maintained a financial interest in The Corridor and, a few years after the death of his widow, his Will led to a huge family dispute which had to be resolved by the Chancery Court.
