George Sedger (1856–c. 1914) was a London-based architect. His best-known building is the Gibney Building for the Lincoln College of Art in Lincoln. His father was the vicar of Fundenhall, Norfolk. Sedger trained with architect George Nattress from 1873 to 1878, and for a short time they ran a joint practice. They came second in a 1878 competition to design Great Yarmouth Town Hall. From 1879 to 1881 he worked as an assistant to Charles Foster Haywood in Adelphi, London. He started his own practice in 1882 at 28 Great James Street, Bedford Row, London W.C., and stayed there until his death in 1914. He became a Licentiate of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1911. His most important surviving building is the Lincoln School of Science and Art (now part of Lincoln College) on Monks’ Road, Lincoln, a Grade II listed building. In 1888 he won the competition to design Stockport Technical College, a design very similar to the Lincoln School.
