FOWLER, Charles Hodgson (1840-1910) of Durham, England was a pupil of **Sir George Gilbert Scott **and devoted much of his career to the design and restoration of ecclesiastical buildings. In 1869 he was commissioned to prepare plans for St. George's Anglican Church, LENNOXVILLE, QUE (The Architect [London], i, 20 Feb. 1869, 104, descrip. & plate illus.), but the ambitious plan was never executed, and the present Anglican church in Lennoxville bears no resemblance to the design prepared by Fowler (H. Bergevin, Eglises Protestantes, 1981, 153, illus.).
However, in 1870 Fowler prepared the plans for another Canadian church located in nearby HUNTINGDON, QUE., likely for the Anglican congregation (American Architect & Builder's Monthly, i, Sept. 1870, 106, descrip.), but this too was beyond the financial reach of the Building Committee and it is unclear if any portion of the scheme was built. Fowler died at Durham, England on 14 December 1910 (obituary for C.H. Fowler in R.I.B.A. Journal, xviii, 1910-11, 142; biog.
