Edward Doran Webb

Edward Doran Webb,FSA (1864–1931) was a British ecclesiastical architect. Based in Wiltshire, he worked on several churches including Salisbury, Finchley, Swindon and Aldermaston.Webb also designed the Birmingham Oratory. Webb had strong connections to the University of Cambridge and designed a large country stone house for a senior member of St. John's College, Cambridge in the west of the city before retiring. The limestone house was built in the stately Queen Anne style. Its location and the surrounding fields and cottages on Madingley Road, were proposed as location for a future Cambridge college.

Webb was a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London and this affiliation may be the source of his connection to scholars at the University of Cambridge.He was married to Elsie Janet Charlton on 30 January 1899 and lived at Gaston House in Tisbury, Wiltshire nearly until the end of his life.
