Herbert Baker (9 June 1862 – 4 February 1946) was a British architect remembered as the dominant force in South African architecture for two decades. He was born and died at Owletts in Cobham, Kent. Among the many churches, schools and houses he designed in South Africa are the Union Buildings in Pretoria, St. John's College, Johannesburg, the Wynberg Boys' High School, Groote Schuur in Cape Town, and the Champagne Homestead and Rhodes Cottage on Boschendal, between Franschhoek and Stellenbosch. With Edwin Lutyens he was instrumental in designing the Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi, which in 1931 became the capital of the British Raj. His tomb is in Westminster Abbey.
