Sir Guy Dawber trained at the Royal Academy Schools and was articled to Sir Thomas Deane in Dublin and then went into the office of Sir Ernest George. From 1887 to 1890 he was clerk of works during the rebuilding of Batsford Park, Gloucestershire to the designs of George & Peto. He loved the county and first set up on his own in Bourton-on-the-Hill before moving to London in 1891. Most of his work was domestic and in a relaxed Georgian or Cotswold vernacular style. He was one of the founders of the Council for the Preservation of Rural England. Dawber received the Royal Gold Medal in 1928 and was knighted in 1936.
