Basic Biographical Details

Name: Stanley Wayman Milburn
Designation:  
Born: 28 June 1887
Died: 16 June 1961
Bio Notes: Stanley Wayman Milburn, born 1888, was the younger son of William Milburn Senior. He was educated at Durham University and apprenticed to his father and uncle, 1904-09 and remained as an assistant until 1912 when he became a partner. During that period he studied at the Sunderland Schools of Art and Technology and passed the qualifying exam, being admitted ARIBA on 3 March 1913, his proposers being George Thomas Brown of Sunderland, Henry Clement Charlewood of Newcastle upon Tyne and Hugh Taylor Decimus Hedley of Sunderland.

The firm split in 1947 and was perhaps because Stanley wished to seek larger commissions through entering competitions. He entered the Coventry Cathedral competition without any success but won the Welsh Medical School at Cardiff, for which he moved his office to Cardiff. The job was incomplete at his death in 1961.

Like his brother Stanley Wayman Milburn was active in the Territorials and won the MC in World War I, retiring as a Major.
