Joseph Clarke, FRIBA (1819/20 – 1881) was a British Gothic Revival architect who practised in London, England.[1]
Career
In 1839 Clarke exhibited an antiquarian drawing with the Oxford Society for Promoting the Study of Gothic Architecture.[2] Clarke was made an Associate of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) in 1841 and a Fellow of the RIBA in 1850.[1] He served as Diocesan Surveyor to the sees of Canterbury and Rochester, and from 1871 to the see of Diocese of St Albans.[1] He was also Consultant Architect to the Charity Commissioners.[1]
He wrote A Series of Views, plans, and Details, for Rural Schoolhouses, published in 1852.[3] His association with commissions in Oxfordshire make it possible that he was the "Joseph Clarke, esq., architect" who presented plans for restoring the gatehouse at Rye, the intended scene of the Rye House Plot, to the Oxford Architectural Society in May 1842.[4]
