George Latham (architect)

George Latham (baptised 25 September 1793 – 8 August 1871) was an English architect and surveyor, who practised from an office in Nantwich, Cheshire.

[1][2] They had five children[1] including at least three sons; the second, Baldwin Latham (1836–1917) became a civil engineer and meteorologist;[3] the youngest, Edwin Davenport Latham, also became a civil engineer.

[1] Hartwell et al. in the Buildings of England series consider Arley Hall to be his finest work.

He designed buildings in a variety of architectural styles, including Neoclassical, Jacobean, and Georgian.

[6] Latham was approached by John Tollemache, 1st Baron Tollemache, with the prospect of becoming the architect for Peckforton Castle, but was not appointed to the position and received £2,000 in compensation.
