Career

Hugall's works span the period 1848–78.[4] He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1871.[4]

Hugall spent an early part of his career in Pontefract, Yorkshire.[5] While there he was Secretary of the Yorkshire Architectural Society[5] (now the Yorkshire Architectural and York Archaeological Society).[6] In 1848 he co-wrote a book, The Churches of Scarborough, Filey, And The Neighbourhood and An Historical and Descriptive Guide to York Cathedral and Its Antiquities.(1850) with the Rev. G.A. Poole.[5]

Hugall seems to have moved his practice to Cheltenham by about 1850[7] and to Reading and Oxford by 1871.[4]
