Charles Reed (later Charles Verelst) (1814 – 13 December 1859) was an English architect. He practised in Birkenhead, which was then in Cheshire and later in Merseyside. He was orphaned as a child and brought up by an uncle. When the uncle died, Reed inherited his estate at Aston Hall, near Rotherham, South Yorkshire, and changed his surname to Verelst.[1] During the 1840s and 1850s he worked for Sir William Jackson in laying out a housing estate in Claughton, and designing villas within that development.[2] Two roads in the estate, Charlesville and Reedville, are named after him.[3] In 1852–54 he was president of the Liverpool Architectural Society.[4] In addition to designing buildings locally, Reed also carried out works further afield, including in North Wales, the Lake District, and Lytham, Lancashire.
