Architect. Born at Hartford, Berkshire. He specialised in designing churches, particularly in London's East End. His father, John was a gentleman farmer in Hattford, who later moved to Wantage. John founded and funded St Stephen's School, W2 but we don't know if he employed his son James as architect.
