 Great Yarmouth (1831), and St. George's Church, Edgbaston, for Lord Calthorpe. These, with some small additions and restorations to Burgh Castle and Blundestone churches, Suffolk, comprised all his work for the established church of England. His works for the Roman catholic church included Our Lady's Church, St. John's Wood (1832), St. Peter's Collegiate Church, Stonyhurst, Lancashire (1832), St. Ignatius, Preston, Lancashire (1835), St. James's, Colchester (1837), St. Mary's, Newport, Monmouthshire (1840), St. David's, Cardiff (1842), St. John's, Islington (1843), the Immaculate Conception, Farm Street, London (1844), St. Francis Xavier's, Liverpool (1844), the Immaculate Conception, Chelmsford (1847), the church and presbytery of Great Yarmouth (1848–50), the chapel of Ince Hall, Lancashire (1859), and the Holy Cross, St. Helen's, Lancashire (1860).

Scoles's design of the church of St. John, Islington, was censured by Pugin in a self-laudatory article on ‘Ecclesiastical Architectures’ in the ‘Dublin Review’ for 1843; but the plan given by Pugin was shown to be in error in an editorial article in the ‘Builder’ of 1 April 1843. Among others of Scoles's works was the London Oratory, Brompton, with its library, the little oratory, and the temporary church, as well as a convent in Sidney Street, Brompton. The chapel of Prior Park College, Bath, designed by Scoles, was erected after his death by his son.

Scoles was elected a fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1835, was honorary secretary from May 1846 to May 1856, and vice-president in 1857–8. To the society's proceedings he contributed papers principally on the monuments of Egypt and the Holy Land, the outcome of his early travels.

He died on 29 Dec. 1863, at his residence, Crofton Lodge, Hammersmith.

Scoles married, in 1831, Harriott, daughter of Robert Cory of Great Yarmouth. Four sons and eight daughters survived him. There passed to the possession of his son, Augustus Cory Scoles, a watercolour drawing by John Hollins, A.R.A. [q. v.], representing Scoles in the native costume he had adopted when in Syria.

 SCOLOKER, ANTHONY (fl. 1548), printer and translator, is believed to have been an exile from England on account of his evangelical views during the later years of Henry VIII's reign. He appears to have lived in Germany, learning the German, Dutch, and French languages. On the accession of Edward VI he returned to England, and established a printing press in ‘Savoy Rents without Temple Bar.’ For some time William Seres [q. v.] was his partner, and together they issued in 1548 Bale's ‘Briefe Chronycle of Sir John Oldecastell.’ Among other books published by Scoloker were editions of Skelton's poems and Piers Plowman's ‘Exhortation;’ his books are rarely dated, but they seem all to have been published in 1547 or 1548. In the latter year he removed to Ipswich, where he lived in St. Nicholas parish, and set up a printing press. No book of his is known to have been published after 1548, and no mention of him is made in the registers of the Stationers' Company.

Scoloker was also a translator; the most interesting of his translations is ‘A goodly Dysputacion betwene a Christen Shomaker and a Popyshe Parson … translated out of ye German [of Hans Sachs] by A. Scoloker,’ 1548, 8vo (Brit. Mus.). The translation is not very accurate, but ‘is racy, and even sparkling with humour’ (, Introduction to Daiphantus; cf., Lit. Rel. of England and Germany, pp. 53–4). His other works are: 1. ‘The iust reckenyng, or accompt of the whole number of the yeares from the beginyng of the worlde unto this presente yere of 1547. A certaine and sure declaracion that the worlde is at an ende. Translated out of the Germaine tongue by Anthony Scoloker, 6 July 1547’ (, Coll. iii. 309). 2. ‘A Notable Collection of divers and sōdry places of the Sacred Scriptures which make to the declaracyon of the Lordes Prayer, gathered by P. Viret, and translated out of the Frenche by A. Scoloker,’ London, 1648, 8vo (Brit. Mus.). 3. ‘A Briefe Summe of the whole Bible. A Christian instruction for all persones younge and old, to which is annexed the ordinary for all degrees. Translated out of Doutch into Englysshe by Anthony Scoloker,’ London, 1568, 8vo (, Coll. i. 37). 4. ‘Simplicitie and Knowledge, a Dialogue,’ of which no copy is known to be extant (, p. 64).

Another (fl. 1604), doubtless a relative of the above, was author of ‘Daiphantus, or the Passions of Loue,’ 1604. A copy, believed to be unique, is in the Douce Collection in the Bodleian Library. It was reprinted for the Roxburghe Club in 1818, and again in 1880, with an introduction by Dr. A. B. Grosart. At the end was printed for the first time Ralegh's ‘Passionate Man's Pilgrimage,’ which was probably written in 1603; but the chief interest in the poem consists in its references to Shake-
