Alexander James Beresford Hope (1820-1887), English writer, collector, and patron, was the son of Thomas Hope. At Cambridge he befriended Benjamin Webb (1819-1885), cofounder (with John Mason Neale (1818-1866) ) of the Cambridge Camden Society (later The Ecclesiological Society). On inheriting the estate of his stepfather, General Viscount Beresford (1768-1854), he changed his name to Beresford Hope. He became the most energetic and influential lay member of the society, helped to edit The Ecclesiologist, and promoted urban minsters' using tough materials and structural polychromy: his was the guiding force that helped to create the society's exemplary Church of All Saints, Margaret Street, London (1849-59), by Butterfield.
