context_page_description: Captain William Charles Braxton Sinclair FRIBA was a British architect who worked in the United Kingdom and in Burma, where he was a captain in the Royal Engineers. He was also a local historian.
context_section_description: His works include:
  Silver Birches, a country house in Purley, Surrey (1920s)
  8 Turner Close, Hampstead Garden Suburb (1920–23), which was listed Grade II in 1970. Its specification and plans are held at the London Metropolitan Archives.
  First Church of Christ, Scientist, Southport, Lancashire, 1924–33, now demolished
  First Church of Christ, Scientist , Bromley (1928–33) at 54B Widmore Road, Bromley, London, which is Grade II listed. The Bromley Civic Society describes it as "an amazing fusion of classicism and Art Deco based on the design of a Roman tomb which accounts for the addition of a Mediterranean cypress tree as part of the integral landscaping. Special features are the classical pilasters in varying thicknesses of brick, repeated in the window tracery and the design of the carved wooden doors. Small hand-made bricks are used throughout." Historic England describes it as being "in an inventive Neo-Classical style with brickwork and doors reminiscent of Art-Deco cinemas".
  Kay & Co's Georgian-style offices (1938) in The Tything, Worcester
  The Tudor-style gatehouse (1939) at the entrance to Dunsborough Park in Ripley, Surrey, commissioned by Sir Oliver Simmonds MP
  First Church of Christ, Scientist, Richmond (1939–53) at Sheen Road, Richmond, London
  Huddersfield House (1958–59) at 200 Strand, London WC2, the London offices of the then Huddersfield Building Society; the society later merged with other building societies to become the Yorkshire Building Society and the building is now known as Yorkshire House.
  In 1913, Sinclair restored the tower at Holy Cross Church in Greenford, north-west London.
  In 1950, he extended the neo-Georgian flats that had been built in 1937 in Chesterfield Gardens in Greenwich.
  His design of a sophisticated air raid shelter for flats at Queen's Gate, in South Kensington, London,  was published in The Builder in October 1938.
