Edward Jones (Welsh architect)

[14] It can be assumed that he had returned to John Wallen's office at 10 White Lion Street, Pentonville, by 1919, because this information is attached to Edward's first recorded exhibition at the Royal Academy.

[17] During 1823, Edward was practicing at 21–20 Providence Row, Finsbury Square, London[18] and he is assumed to be the ‘Mr Jones’ who made a design for the North front and wings of Broomhall, Fife, the seat of Thomas Bruce, the 7th Earl of Elgin.

[26] Nevertheless, the Greek Revival continued to spread throughout Britain, in part, because young London-based architects built in the provinces.

[27] In 1835, Edward published a folio with plates, Athenian or Grecian Villas: Being a Series of Original Designs for Villas or Country Residences to exemplify in effect its applicability to Domestic Edifices of this country, and its adaption in Plan to the modern arrangement of their usual arrangements.

Edward noted the discovery of several bas-reliefs depicting Grecian villas, finding they embodied the same qualities as Greek public edifices.

[28] Edward's 1835 designs allowed for the addition of similar sculpture, bronze statues and other art that “were invariably adjuncts to the tasteful and elegant buildings of the Greeks”.
