Biography
Biography
The architectural styles he used were mainly Gothic and Norman Revival. Almost all his works are in what is now Cumbria, with a few isolated commissions elsewhere. The latter were obtained through personal contacts, for example his work for William Armstrong at Bamburgh Castle, Northumberland, and for J. Bibby of the Bibby Line in Shropshire. In the Buildings of England series Ferguson is described as being "a resourceful as well as a sensitive architect".
