Augustus Frederick Livesay (8 May 1808[1] – 24 September 1879), known professionally as A. F. Livesay, was an
architect based in
Portsmouth and the
Isle of Wight, England.
Architectural historian
Nikolaus Pevsner described Livesay as 'a sensitive architect', and considered his finest work to be St Mary's Church, Andover, which was rebuilt from 1840.[4]
Livesay's son John Gillett Livesay (d. 1898) was also an architect, as was John's son George Augustus Bligh Livesay (1867–1916). Livesay was also the uncle of architect John Payne (1849–1921).[3]
