context_page_description: Scorer and Gamble was an architectural practice in Lincoln which operated between 1901 and 1913, although the name Scorer and Gamble continued to be used until 1930. The partnership was between William Scorer and Henry Gilbert Gamble. The partnership operated from Bank Street Chambers Lincoln. Their work is described as eclectic, ranging from the Arts and Crafts/Art Nouveau of Gainsborough Library to the more disciplined English Renaissance of Horncastle and later schools. In 1903, Gamble, who may have been the more talented designer was appointed architect to the Lindsey County Council Education Committee.
