Although the work of George P Banyard (1880 – 1948) is now largely forgotten, his work as a Cambridge architect in the 1920s and 1930s is of some note. Banyard came from humble roots. He is recorded in partnership with his father Philip, trading as Banyard and Son builders of 28 Gwydir Street, an enterprise which went into receivership at Cambridge Court in November 1907.
George went on to design a number of cinemas locally; the Spicers Cinema in Sawston is a surviving example with many original features, and I believe he also did work on Wimpole Hall. (Email from R W-R 2022)
