Introduction
Not much seems to be known about the architect A. B. Higham, except that his practice was in Wakefield. It must have been a large practice, because he worked over a wide area. For example, he designed the Town Hall in Alston, Cumbria; rebuilt a chapel in Halton Gill, Littondale; and was later responsible for a school in Buckden, Wharfedale. But his finest work was probably the "ambitious" Holy Trinity Church, Whitfield in Northumberland (1859-60; see Pevsner et al. 624). He also published A Plea for the Restoration of the Tower and Spire of the Parish Church of Wakefield in 1853, which includes his own engravings. — Jacqueline Banerjee.
