(Alfred) Richard Twentyman (1903–1979) was an English architect based in Wolverhampton.
Life
He was born in 1903 in Bilbrook, Staffordshire. He was educated at Cambridge University where he studied engineering and then architecture at the Architecture Association in London. In 1933 he joined H.E. Lavender in Wolverhampton[1] and formed Lavender and Twentyman.
Pevsner praised his work at Rubery and Redditch. St Chad’s Church, Rubery is described as being a fine Modernist example, and his crematorium at Redditch as a model example for that class of building.[2]
