Thomas Nicholls (circa 1825 to circa 1900) was an English sculptor.[1] He established a long partnership with the architect William Burges,[2] beginning with Burges's first major commission, Saint Fin Barre's Cathedral, Cork. He then followed Burges to Cardiff, working on both Cardiff Castle and Castell Coch, the fantasy palaces Burges constructed for John Crichton-Stuart, 3rd Marquess of Bute.
Nicholls had two sons who followed him as sculptors, Thomas O. Nicholls (born c.1863) and Edward W. Nicholls (born c.1867).[1]
