Was born in England; his father may have been the architect GR Crickmay of Weymouth who won the competition for Wareham Town Hall (1869-1870). GH Crickmay trained as an architect at the Architectural Association Schools, London (1919-1923) qualifying in 1923. It is not yet certain when he left England but he was listed practising as an architect in Nairobi, Kenya in 1930-1931; he married in Mombasa but his wife died in 1931 in Mombasa. Crickmay appears to have come to South Africa in 1937 since he registered with the Institute of South African Architects in 1937 and in the same year entered into partnership with J CORRIGALL and practised in Springs, Transvaal (cf CORRIGALL & CRICKMAY). Crickmay moved to Pietermaritzburg in 1938 where the partners opened an office, retaining their office in Springs. In about 1955 the partners opened an office in Kokstad, Crickmay registering as a member of the Cape Provincial Institute of Architects in that year. Crickmay retired to Port Shepstone (n.d.) but died at 'Donyo', Montrose, Pietermaritzburg. ARIBA 1924; ISAA 1937; TPIA 1937; NPIA 1938.
