Bennett was born in Lancashire, where his father was surveyor and architect to the Duke of Bridgewater's estate. He qualified at Manchester School of Architecture, and taught and worked in Leeds. In 1943 he became the chief architect of Southampton and in 1945 he became the county architect of the West Riding of Yorkshire, where he designed many schools and housing developments.[1]
