George Richardson (architect)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Richardson (1737/8–c.1813) was a Scottish architectural and decorative draftsman and writer on architecture.[1]
One of his few remaining architectural works is a Gothic church at Stapleford, Leicestershire, built in 1783 for the Earl of Harborough.[1][2]
His main output, however, was in the form of books. His publications were subscribed to not only by many leading architects of the day, but also by painters, sculptors and other craftsmen.
