New Lane was created with the imagination of Walter Henry Brierley (1862–1926) who was a York architect who practised in the city for 40 years. He is known as the "Lutyens of the North". He is also credited with being a leading exponent of the "Wrenaissance" style - incorporating elements of Christopher Wren. Brierley's works include civic buildings, churches, schools and private houses (including his own home, Bishopsbarns) and are located mainly in York, North Yorkshire and the north of England. He was responsible for over 300 buildings between 1885 and the time of his death in 1926. He was the architect for the York Diocese.
