Career
According to census records Dolby was born in Sutton Bonington, Nottinghamshire.[2] By 1869 he working from 2 Bedwell Place, East St Helen Street, Abingdon, then in Berkshire.[3]
His known works span the period 1863–88.[4] Dolby altered, rebuilt or restored a number of Anglican parish churches. Many of them were in the Vale of White Horse (then part of Berkshire) and Oxfordshire, but he also rebuilt two churches in Pembrokeshire. Drawings for one of the latter, at Castlebythe, were published in the Church Builder in 1867.[5][6] In 1869–70 he built Abingdon School, described in The Builder as "of a simple character, the local material of red brick and tile being the chief material employed, relieved by bands of Bath stone".[7]
In 1877–78 Dolby worked with the architect H.J. Tollit of Oxford, rebuilding the parish churches at Watlington and Crowell, both in Oxfordshire. After his partnership with Dolby, Tollit designed Thame Town Hall in 1888,[8] a building for Littlemore Hospital in 1902[9] and a factory for Morris Motors in Longwall Street, Oxford in 1910.[10]
