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.
