Samuel Pepys Cockerell

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Samuel Pepys Cockerell (1754 - 1827) worked as an English architect.

Cockerell designed the architecture of much of the Bayswater area of London, including Sussex Gardens, and also Admiralty House. Among country houses, he designed Sezincote House, Gloucestershire (for his brother Sir Charles Cockerell, baronet), and Middleton Hall (now the home of the National Botanic Garden of Wales).

He was the great-great nephew of the diarist Samuel Pepys. His son became the famous architect Charles Robert Cockerell (1788 - 1863).

Cockerell was an employee of the East India Tea Company.[1]

Cockerell's pupils included the architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe (1764 - 1820), who emigrated to the United States of America in 1795 and worked on the White House and the United States Capitol.
