The Collegiate School, Camberwell, Southwark

In spring 1834, Henry Roberts appointed Sir George Gilbert Scott Clerk of Works to The Collegiate School in Camberwell Grove, an arrangement which, he joked, ‘was much more beneficial to myself than to the building’. This was a small Tudor Gothic building which was completed by the autumn, about the time that Scott seems to have left Roberts. It was demolished in 1867.
