In 1838 Scott built at See also:Lincoln his first See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

church, the See also:design for which won the See also:prize in an open competition, and this was quickly followed by six others, all very poor buildings without chancels; church building in See also:England had then reached its very lowest point both in See also:style and in poverty of construction
.
About 1839 his See also:enthusiasm was aroused by some of the eloquent writings of See also:Pugin on See also:medieval See also:architecture, and by the various papers on ecclesiastical subjects published by the See also:Camden Society
.
These opened a new See also:world to Scott, and he thenceforth studied and imitated the architectural styles and principles of the See also:middle ages with the utmost zeal and patient care
.
The first result of this new study was his design for the Martyrs' Memorial at See also:- OXFORD

time Scott became the See also:chief ecclesiastical architect in England, and in the next twenty-eight years completed a large number of new churches and " restorations," the See also:fever for which was fomented by the Ecclesiological Society and the growth of ecclesiastical feeling in England
.
In 1844 Scott won the first See also:premium in the competition for the new Lutheran church at See also:Hamburg, a See also:noble building with a very lofty See also:spire, designed strictly in the style of the 13th century
.
In the following See also:year his partnership with Moffat was dissolved, and in 1847 he was employed to renovate and refit See also:Ely See also:cathedral, the first of a See also:long See also:series of English cathedral and See also:abbey churches which passed through his hands
..
In 1851 he visited and studied the architecture of the chief towns in
zrthern See also:Italy, and in 1855 won the competition for the See also:town-use at Hamburg, designed after the See also:model of similar buildings See also:north See also:Germany
.
In spite of his having won the first prize, another architect was selected to construct the building, after a very inferior design
.
In 1856 a competition was held for designs of the new See also:government offices in London; Scott obtained the third See also:place in this, but the work was afterwards given to him on the See also:condition (insisted on by See also:Lord See also:Palmerston) that he should make a new design, not See also:Gothic, but Classic or See also:Renaissance in style
.
To this Scott very reluctantly consented, as he had little sympathy with any styles but those of England or See also:France from the 13th to the 15th century
.
In 1862–1863 he was employed to design and construct the See also:Albert Memorial, a costly and elaborate work, in the style of a magnified 13th-century reliquary or See also:ciborium, adorned with many statues and reliefs in See also:bronze and See also:marble
.
On the partial completion of this he was knighted

In 1866 he competed for the new London. See also:law-courts, but the prize was adjudged to his old pupil, G

In 1873, owing to illness caused by overwork, Scott spent some time in See also:Rome and other parts of Italy

The See also:mosaic See also:pavement which he designed for See also:Durham cathedral soon after-wards was the result of his study of the 13th-century mosaics in the old basilicas of Rome
.
On his return to England he resumed his professional labours, and continued to work almost without intermission till his See also:short illness and See also:death on the 27th of See also:March 1878; He was buried in the See also:nave of See also:Westminster Abbey, and an engraved See also:brass, designed by G

An incomplete See also:list of his works from 1847 in the Builder for 1878 (p

25 colleges or See also:college chapels, 26 public buildings, 43 mansions and a number of small ecclesiastical accessories

While a member of the Royal See also:Academy, Scott held for many years the See also:post of See also:professor of architecture, and gave a long series of able lectures on medieval styles, which were published in 1879
.
He wrote a work on Domestic Architecture, and a See also:volume of See also:Personal and Professional Recollections, which, edited by his eldest son, was published in 1879, and also a large number of articles and reports on many of the See also:ancient buildings with which he had to See also:deal
