Cyril Edward Power

[1872 - 1951]


Power was born in London, the eldest son of an architect. The family encouraged his creative abilities both in music and drawing, and Power went on to study architecture before joining his father's practice. In 1900 he won the Sloan Medallion awarded by the Royal Institute of Architecture [RIBA] for his design for an art school. During this time he also wrote the History of Medieval Architecture, which included his own illustrations and was published in three volumes. Power married Dorothy Nunn in 1904 and they had four children.
