History

He was born in 1863 in Bottesford, Leicestershire, the son of William Hickson of Easthorpe Manor, Bottesford and Mary Ann Owen. He trained as a surveyor and architect in Nottingham[1] and much of his output was dwelling houses, warehouses and hotels.[2] He was employed by Sydney Pierrepont, 3rd Earl Manvers in the 1890s to erect estate buildings in Thoresby Park.

In 1899 he was appointed a director of the Aspley Engineering Company.[3]

In 1903 his office was at 13 Victoria Street in Nottingham.

He died on 8 October 1915 at St Andrew's Hospital in Northampton and left an estate valued at £5,646 4s 7d (equivalent to £481,400 in 2021).[4]
