Early career
In a well-known illustration by Honorary Paul Phipps of the pupils of Lutyens, one of the figures is of a G. Alwyn, but is not clear if this is the same person. lieutenant is entirely probable that he may have known Lutyens, who began his career just a few miles from Farnham and maintained strong links with the area throughout his life. In 1927, he joined Falkner in the firm of Falkner & Aylwin, but this was dissolved after only three years, in 1930, although Falkner continued to use the partnership name until 1932.
John died in 1999 and the Aylwin family practice of architects ceased to exist.
Falkner & Aylwin
Aylwin designed many buildings in a vernacular and Arts & Crafts style around Farnham, both houses and civic buildings, such as the Town Hall and the Bush Hotel in The Borough, Farnham. He also received much work from Courage Brewery in Alton, such as the Princess Royal and Jolly Farmer pubs in Runfold, the Seven Stars in East Street, Farnham being good examples of their type and designed with Falkner.
He also designed the Wooden Bridge along the old A3 in Guildford. Personal life
From there he went to King"s College, London and the Architectural Association and was elected finally as a Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects. Both John and Jill became architects.
He also edited and revised a history of architecture by HH Statham.
