Biography
Carter was employed to draw plans for the church of St. Matthew Otterbourne, though CMY always maintained that her father did most of the work. He was a Winchester architect, and worked on the restoration of the cathedral. In 1856 he was accused, but acquitted, of forgery. His obituary speaks darkly of eccentricities and a death in poverty. [Hampshire Advertiser (9 February 1856) 6; Salisbury Guardian (2 April 1859) 4.]
