List Of Works By Clough Williams-Ellis
Sources Compiled by Gareth Hughes, based on the preliminary list of drawings held in the RIBA Drawings Collection. This is as complete a list as can be achieved, although some works have gone unrecorded because of the loss of most of Clough Williams-Ellis's office papers in a fire in 1951. In addition, a number of drawings in the collection are not from Clough's office and may represent schemes on which he was asked to comment, rather than design projects by him. * – entries marked thus are known or reputed to be by Clough but are not represented in the RIBA Drawings Collection. RIBA Catalogue references are shown as eneral location / file or file(sheets) where there is more than one sheet of drawings for a project.
