Architect born in Chester, Cheshire. He probably received his training from his father, the architect Thomas Meakin Lockwood (1829–1900). His older brother, William Thomas Lockwood (1863–1942), was also an architect, and in 1892 the two sons went into partnership with their father as Lockwood & Sons (sometimes T.M. Lockwood & Sons). The partnership, which was dissolved in 1906, designed properties primarily in Cheshire, Shropshire and north Wales. Philip Lockwood designed the Nantwich War Memorial (sculpture carved by Edward Owen Griffith), unveiled on 25 September 1921. He died in Carnarvon on 2 February 1939.
