Theatre Architects

Sharpe and Paley was a partnership of two architects based Lancaster, England, between 1845 and 1856. Founded by Edmund Sharpe in 1835, the practice flourished for more than a century, until 1946. It had grown to become the largest in northwest England by the late nineteenth century and was responsible for the design of many important buildings, especially churches.

In 1838 Sharpe took as his pupil the 15-year-old Edward Graham Paley, usually known as E.G. Paley. The two formed a partnership in 1845, following which Sharpe took an increasing interest in activities outside the practice. By 1847 Paley was responsible for most of the firm’s work, and was carrying out commissions independently from at least 1849. Sharpe formally withdrew from the practice in 1851, although it continued to trade as Sharpe and Paley until 1856.
