Philip Speakman Webb (January 12th 1831 - April 17th 1915) was an architect English, sometimes called the father of architecture Arts & Crafts.

Born with Oxford, Webb studied with Aynho in the Northamptonshire. He then became assistant for G.E. Street with London. At this point in time it met William Morris in 1856 and developed its own style in 1858.

It is particularly known like the originator of the Red House of Bexleyheath, in 1859 and the house Standen (near East Grinstead in the Sussex of the West), with William Morris.

William Morris, Edward Ball-Jones and Dante Gabriel Rossetti were three of its favorite partners for interior decoration and furnishing with Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co.

Webb and Morris formed a big part of the movement Arts & Crafts and founded the Society for the Protection off Ancient Buildings in 1877.
