Personal Life
In 1910, Maufe left Bexleyheath and moved to 139 Old Church Street, Chelsea, London. On 1 October 1910, he married Gladys Evelyn Prudence (1882–1976), the daughter of Edward Stutchbury of the geological survey of India. She was a designer and interior decorator, and later a director of Heal's. They had a son who died in 1968. Maufe and Gladys retired shortly after he had completed Guildford Cathedral to their second home, a farmhouse in Shepherd's Hill, Buxted, East Sussex which Maufe restored in the late 1920s. Maufe died on 12 December 1974, his ninety-first birthday, in Uckfield Hospital.
His architectural drawings and correspondence were deposited at the Royal Institute of British Architects headquarters at 66 Portland Place, Marylebone, London. An oil on canvas portrait of him by John Laviers Wheatley was exhibited in 1956 and is in the Primary Collection of the National Portrait Gallery, London.

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“Most personal correspondence of today consists of letters the first half of which are given over to an indexed statement of why the writer hasn’t written before, followed by one paragraph of small talk, with the remainder devoted to reasons why it is imperative that the letter be brought to a close.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“I will use treatment to help the sick according to my ability and judgment, but never with a view to injury and wrongdoing. Neither will I administer a poison to anybody when asked to do so, nor will I suggest such a course. Similarly, I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion. I will keep pure and holy both my life and my art.”
—Hippocrates (c. 460–c. 370 B.C.)
