Charles Busby
(1786-1834)

Died aged c. 48

Charles Augustin Busby (27 June 1786 – 18 September 1834) was an English architect. He created many buildings in and around Brighton, Sussex, such as Brunswick Square and St Margaret's Church. His style usually included Romanesque-style pillars to his buildings. He entered into an architectural partnership with fellow architect Amon Henry Wilds and his apprentice David J. Field. This has been called a decisive movement in his career. It was a partnership suggested by Thomas Read Kemp who was developing property in Brighton. Busby became key in the development of Brighton, not just as an architect but also investing in development himself.
