George Papworth

In 1799 he became the pupil of his elder brother, the architect John Buonarotti Papworth, and acted as his clerk of works until 1804.

[1] He moved to Ireland in 1806 and took charge of the Circular Stone Manufacturers of North Strand, Dublin.

Other work followed including the Dublin Library in D'Olier Street, Dublin (1818–1820) and the single span cast-iron King's Bridge which was built to commemorate the visit of George IV to Ireland (now Seán Heuston Bridge).

Papworth is also responsible for the Malahide Railway Station, Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church, Middleton Park House in Westmeath, and St Mary's Pro-Cathedral in Dublin.

He designed some of the most impressive monuments in Mount Jerome Cemetery, including the Drummond Memorial.
