In 19th-century England, most architects learned their trade by being articled to a respected architect. This was like an apprenticeship but at a professional level. So far, we don't know which architect trained Hiscoe. Looking at the standard, quality and style of Hiscoe's works, it is clear that he was articled to a really good architect, and there were several of those who used a similar architectural style in Leeds. I think that George Corson might be a good bet – on the above grounds, because the dates might fit, and because he used one of Corson's architectural sculptors. I am just thinking aloud here, but I am hoping that someone might know where to look for the answer. (Arthur Hiscoe/Hiscox is not listed in Brodie, because he was not a member of the RIBA. Nor is he in Felstead.) Storye book (talk) 09:34, 26 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
