COB01 Gerald Cobb This collection comprises a range of largely image based archive, presented in 136 site based or themed albums, chronologically arranged within each album. The albums have been catalogued at item level and contain a total of 14,338 individual images. They were compiled from the 1950s to the 1980s. The majority of items date from the late 19th century and early- to mid-20th century, although there is material from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Gerald Cobb (1899 - 1986) built up this remarkable collection over a lifetime. A trained artist, he worked in the College of Arms for over 60 years and was also a brother of the Art Workers' Guild. He was a member of the Ecclesiological Society and their Vice President in 1976, and was a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries.The collection focuses mainly on the major ecclesiastical buildings, such as cathedrals and abbeys. There is significant coverage of the following: St Paul's Cathedral in London (21 albums), Canterbury Cathedral (13), Ely Cathedral (5), Gloucester Cathedral (5), Durham Cathedral (5), Lincoln Cathedral (5), York Minster (5), Lichfield Cathedral (4), Peterborough Cathedral (3) and Wells Cathedral (3). Most other major sites are also covered, in 1 or 2 albums each. Ecclesiastcal sites comprise 67% of the collection, with a further 8% on church monuments. The albums also feature domestic and commercial/industrial buildings such as markets, galleried inns, weatherboarded houses, and former mercantile and dock buildings with a London emphasis. There are 21 albums of various London sites or themes, such as crypts, religious houses, streets and shops. Other historic towns and sites are represented, York in 3 albums, Windsor Castle and Eton in 2 albums, also Rochester Castle and town, Lincoln, Durham, Canterbury, Croydon and others.Cobb published two books based on his collection, 'The Old Churches of London' (1942) and 'English Cathedrals: The Forgotten Centuries' (1980).There has been a further acquisition of a large number of files, essentially potential album contents left unbound but sorted by site or theme, which is uncatalogued (COB01/02).

LLO02 Nathaniel Lloyd The collection is, in part, a record of the evolution of the English house and as such provides a photographic framework for Nathaniel Lloyd's publications on the subject. One of its strengths lies in its representation of architectural detail. As well as architectural history, Lloyd also had a keen interest in topiary and garden design and his book, 'Garden Craftsmanship in Yew and Box' is illustrated with many of the photographs contained within the collection. There is a strong emphasis on brickwork and joinery. Nathaniel Lloyd was particularly interested in the craftsmanship involved in constructing houses.Although there is a fairly broad geographical coverage, over three quarters of the collection is concentrated on sites in the south east, with two counties, East Sussex and Kent, making up over half of the total. Coverge in the north and midlands is very sparse. The Lloyd's house, Great Dixter, East Sussex, is covered in considerable detail, with views of the house, garden and the Lloyd family. Most of the photographs date between 1910 and 1930. A small proportion post date Nathaniel Lloyd's death in 1933, and it is likely that they were taken by one of his children.
