Leonard Manasseh

Leonard Manasseh RA (born 21 May 1916) is a British architect, possibly best known for the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu, which he co-designed with Ian Baker.

He was born on 21 May 1916 in Eden Hall, Singapore, which was then the house of his uncle Ezekiel Manasseh, a rice and opium merchant, and is now the residence of the British High Commissioner.[1]

Manasseh's reputation rose with his work at the Festival of Britain, and he formed Leonard Manasseh and Partners with Ian Baker, becoming "one of the leading British architects of the 1960s".[2]

In 1964, Manasseh designed the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu.[1]
