Matthew Edward Habershon (18 July 1826 – 18 August 1900), known as Edward Habershon, was an architect practising in London and south-east England. He specialised in neo-gothic buildings, especially churches and chapels. With his brother W.G. Habershon he designed St John the Baptist's Church, Hove, now a Grade II building. With E.P.L. Brock he designed a number of churches including St Leonards-on-Sea Congregational Church, also listed at Grade II. He designed St Andrews church in Hastings,[4] where Robert Tressell's large mural (now in Hastings Museum) was created.[5] In 1862 he was involved in the relocation of London's burial grounds, moving more than one thousand hundredweight of human remains.[6]
