Falconer, Baker & Campbell 1922 - 1928

Falconer Baker & Campbell was an architectural partnership formed in Amberley, near Stroud in Gloucestershire by Thomas Falconer (1880-1934), Harold Baker (1890-?) and John A. Campbell (1878-1948).  Falconer had commenced independent practice in Amberley in the 1900s. In 1917 he formed a partnership with Baker. In 1922 Campbell joined the practice which then became Falconer Baker & Campbell. The practice designed several houses in the Arts and Crafts tradition in the Cotswolds.

Photographs of a house and garden in the Cotswolds, designed by Falconer, Baker & Campbell are illustrated in 'The Studio Yearbook of Decorative Art' 1923 (pp.20, 23) and photographs of the interior and garden of the Manor House at Great Rissington in Gloucestershire, and of the interior of a house in the South Cotswolds designed by them are illustrated in 'The Studio Yearbook of Decorative Art' 1924 (pp.28, 58, 59, 60, 178, 179).

Between 1919 and 1924 Bristol-based architect Frederick Bligh Bond (1864-1945) was also associated with the firm, however, it is not known if he was a partner.

From 1923 the firm had an office at 12 Buckingham Street, London. The partnership was dissolved in October 1928.
