Mason Science College, now the University of Birmingham.
Parkes was born in Aston, Birmingham, one of six children of William Parkes, who worked in Birmingham's jewellery trade.[2] He was educated at King Edward's Grammar School in Aston and at Mason Science College, a predecessor of the University of Birmingham.[3] From 1891 to 1911 he was principal of the Nicholson Institute, Leek.[4][5][6]
During 1922 he published his two volume survey Sculpture of Today. The papers for this work and an unpublished third volume are possessed by the Victoria & Albert Museum.[7] A second two volume work The Art of Carved Sculpture was published in 1931.[8] He was a regular contributor to magazines such as Architectural Review, Apollo and The Studio.[8]
