Edward Blore, architetto e antiquario, nacque a Derby il 13 settembre 1789, figlio primogenito di Thomas Blore, topografo e antiquario.[1][2]

Si avvicinò all'arte incominciando a lavorare come disegnatore e acquerellista (due dei suoi acquerelli si trovano al British Museum).[1][2]

Come architetto ricevette molte cariche e riconoscimenti, tra i quali: architetto di corte di Guglielmo IV del Regno Unito e della regina Vittoria del Regno Unito, architetto dell'abbazia di Westminster (1827-1849), membro della Royal Academy of Arts e della Society of Antiquaries of London, socio fondatore del Royal Archaeological Institute, laurea ad honorem dall'Università di Oxford.[1][2]

Blore contribuì notevolmente alla diffusione delle tendenze architettoniche neogotiche in Inghilterra.[1]

Blore è ricordato per il suo completamento del design di John Nash di Buckingham Palace (1829-1831),[2] in seguito al licenziamento di Nash.[3][4]

Completò il palazzo in uno stile simile ma più chiaro di quello voluto da Nash.[3][4] Nel 1847 Blore tornò al palazzo e progettò la grande facciata di fronte al Mall, che racchiudeva il quadrilatero centrale.[3][4]Il suo fronte est, la facciata pubblica, di Buckingham Palace fu criticato dal momento del suo completamento come banale architettura di strada, una visione condivisa dal re Giorgio V del Regno Unito che fece ridisegnare la facciata nel 1913.[4]

Lavorò al Lambeth Palace (1823), al St. James's Palace a Londra, e a un gran numero di altri progetti sia in Inghilterra che in Scozia, tra cui il restauro della Torre di Salisbury al Castello di Windsor,[3][4]della cattedrale di Peterborough e di quella di Glasgow.[1]

Blore strinse una profonda amicizia con sir Walter Scott, per il quale realizzò la residenza di Abbostford e condivise con lui la passione per l'architettura baronale dei castelli scozzesi.[4] Come conseguenza fu progettato il Palazzo Voroncov ad Alupka, in Crimea, del principe Vorontsov. Il Palazzo Voroncov fu costruito tra il 1828 e il 1846, in una varietà di stili che vanno dal revival gotico al revival moresco.[4] Il palazzo venne descritto come «l'omaggio di Blore all'architettura musulmana». La struttura si caratterizzò per la coniugazione dello stile baronale scozzese con la fantasia araba.[4]

Grazie alla sua fama e popolarità Blore collaborò in numerosi progetti legati all'Impero britannico, tra cui la Government House di Sydney, in Australia (1834),[2] che progettò intorno al 1870 sotto forma di un castello gotico.[4] Tali progetti erano insoliti e mostrarono elementi stilistici più originali del lavoro di Blore rispetto alle sue opere londinesi.[4]

Blore fu eletto membro della Royal Society nel 1841.[4] Fu precettore e maestro degli architetti Philip Charles Hardwick e Frederick Marrable.[4]

Blore morì nel 1879 a Derby e fu sepolto nel cimitero di Highgate (West), Londra.[4]
