Also referred to as STANDLEY-ALLUM, Alfred. Son of Edwyn Allum (1815–1892) and Mary Matilda nee Goodwin (1821–1901) (FS). Trained as an architect, probably in England, and came to South Africa in 1875. He practised in Bloemfontein around 1876 where the greater part of his work was executed. In 1878 he dedicated himself to the Anglican priesthood and in this capacity was stationed variously at Bethlehem, Jagersfontein, Barkly West and Kimberley where he was responsible for various parish buildings. He was responsible for a wood and iron annex to the Anglican cathedral of Bloemfontein (cf D MALE) which was presumably demolished when J HILDER's design for an enlarged cathedral was built by R WOCKE in 1881-5. He married Georgiana Margaret Catherine Phillips (1841–1922) on 20 February 1879 at Bethlehem, Orange Free State, South Africa (FS).
