Mr Edward Thomas Boardman, F.R.I.B.A., Mayor of Norwich in 1905 and High Sheriff of Norfolk in 1933, died at his home at Ludham, Norfolk, on Friday at the age of 88.

Born in 1861, the son of an architect practising at Norwich, he was articled to his father and received further professional training at the Slade School, University College, London, and as an improver with Ernest George and Peto. He had for many years a large practice in Norwich, mostly in commercial work, but he had a number of private commissions for houses and he also designed the discreet block of flats for old people known as Stuart Court, and houses for the Smallburgh and Forehoe rural district councils. He was architect to the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital and to the Jenny Lind Infirmary for Sick Children, and also designed the Beccles and District Memorial Hospital. He was president of the Norfolk and Norwich Association of Architects and was on the Commission of the Peace for Norwich from 1900 to 1938.

He married in 1898 Florence Esther, daughter of the late J.J. Colman. There were four sons and a daughter of the marriage.
