Voysey,was born in 1857 at Hessle,near Hull,in Yorkshire,where his fatherand uncle were then running a school.A few years later,after a shortperiod in Jamaica,his father became Vicar of Healaugh,a small York-shire village near Tadcaster.Voysey was taught at home by his father,who was by far the most important influence on the son for the rest ofhis life.The Rev.Charles Voysey was a remarkable character,an un-orthodox clergyman who was eventually deprived of his living andexpelled from the Church of England for denying the doctrine of ever-lasting hell,after a trial for heresy.This took place in 1871 and thefamily then moved to London.The young Voysey was sent to DulwichCollege,but he failed to settle down at school and left after eighteenmonths to complete his education under a private tutor.  \nIn 1874 Voysey became an articled pupil to J.P.Seddon and remain-ed with him as pupil and assistant until 1879,when he went for a shorttime to the office of Saxon Snell,a specialist in hospitals and work-houses;he did not find this work congenial and in 1880 was glad toaccept an offer to join the staff of Gcorge Devey,with whom he spenta couple of years before setting up on his own account.  \nVoysey took an office in Westminster towards the end of 1881 orearly in 1882,and his practice began slowly with small alterations andsurveys.In 1883 he entered for the competition for the new Admiraltyofices but was unplaced:none of his drawings has survived.In 1884he joined the newly formed Art Workers'Guild and in the same yearbecame engaged to Mary Maria Evans,to whom he was married in 1885.  \nDuring the period of waiting for more substantial commissions Voyseyproduced designs for
