Edmund Harold Sedding (1863 – 21 February 1921), often referred to as E. H. Sedding, was an English architect who practised in Devon and Cornwall.
He was born in 1863 in Pimlico,[1][2] London, the son of Edmund Sedding and the nephew of J. D. Sedding. He was articled to his uncle, and initially employed by him, later setting up his own independent practice in Plymouth in 1891. His awards included the RA medal in 1884, the RIBA medal the following year, the RA Travelling Fellowship in 1886, and the Pugin medal in 1887. His published work includes Norman architecture in Cornwall (1909).
Sedding supported the Pinwill sisters to become important church woodcarvers in Devon and Cornwall. He came to know them during the restoration of the church of St Peter and St Paul in Ermington in Devon, where they carved the pulpit. He later commissioned the three sisters Mary, Ethel and Violet for a range of work in the two counties and through these commissions creating his designs they established a good reputation and were used by other church architects too.[3]
Edmund Harold Sedding died in Plymouth on 21 February 1921 and is buried in the graveyard of St Carantoc Church, Crantock, Cornwall.[4]
