Cecil Greenwood Hare (1875 – 14 July 1932)^[1] was an architect and designer based in England.

Life

He was born in Stamford, Lincolnshire in 1875, the son of John Thomas Hare (1844-1902) and Mary Ann.

He was chief assistant to Bodley from 1906 and took over the practice, completing some of Bodley’s designs. He is described in George Frederick Bodley’s will as his secretary and received a legacy of £400. His brief obituary in The Times^[2] describes him as Bodley’s partner. He took over the practice of Bodley and Hare on Bodley's death.^[3]

Most of his own church work comprised fittings, and he produced output for Watts of Westminster.

He was partner of Albert Victor Heal from 1919 to 1924, by which time Heal (still calling himself Creed and Heal) and Bodley and Hare shared the same address at 11 Gray's Inn Square.

He died whilst the church of St Mildred, Addiscombe was being built, and a memorial to him was inserted in the church.^[4]
