Charles Hollis

Architect of All Saints Church and rectory, Poplar, 1823. Other work includes: St John the Baptist Church, Windsor, 1822.

raise a puzzling query about All Saints Church Poplar: "There is some mystery over the identity of the Architect. Charles Hollis, the man to whom the design is attributed was a little known Architect: apart from a church and a bridge at Windsor he does not seem to have carried out much public work, It has been claimed on more than one occasion that All Saints was the work of Joseph Scoles, a Roman Catholic, and in those more religiously bigotted days, ineligible to participate in a competition to design an Anglican church. Is said that the design for All Saints was exhibited subsequently under his name at the Royal Academy."
