The introductions to some of the volumes in the Buildings of England
"Charles Hodgson Fowler, clerk of works then architect to the Dean and Chapter [of Durham Cathedral], composed the usual red brick and lancet windows to great effect in his big town churches (St Paul, West Hartlepool 1885-6; St Ignatius, Hendon (Sunderland) 1889), and barn-like colliery ones (Bearpark 1877-9; Craghead 1914–21; Easington Colliery 1925-8). Between 1864 and 1895 he did a vast number of restorations, handling them sensitively but not slavishly (see the staircase at Ryton , 1886)."[11]
"From outside the county, C. H. Fowler ... also restored much, with a similar dead hand"[12]
"Hodgson Fowler was more sensitive [as a church restorer than Ewan Christian ] (see also his new churches at Grove, 1882, St Alban Ordsall, 1901) ..."[13]
" ... C. Hodgson Fowler of Durham (who did an admirably tactful restoration at Scawton in 1892) ..."[14]
"C. Hodgson Fowler did some pleasant village churches (Burton Leonard , 1877-8; Bishop Monkton , 1878-9)"[15]
