Name

Hattrell and Wortley

Designation
Architectural practice
Formation
1925
Dissolved
1938

Following the death of his father in 1925, Walter Stanley Hattrell took over the practice, soon to be joined in partnership with Percy Sheppard Wortley. The 1926/7 Coventry Directory contained the first entry for: Hattrell & Wortley, Architects, 1 Queens Road, Coventry, and the same entry re-appeared in subsequent editions up to and including the 1937/8 edition. P S Wortley joined the practice before the First World War. In the account books for 1925-6, both P.S. Wortley and J Cranston are listed as employees of the practice. Although the entries in the directories show the firm being a partnership, it was not until 1930 that Percy Wortley became an equity partner. The 1932 -3 accounts show his first share of profits - 5% up to £1000 and 10% thereafter.  P.S. Wortley became a Licentiate of the RIBA in 1925 and retired in 1942. From 1938 the partnership was renamed W S Hattrell and Partners
