James Hibbert (1831 – 19 November 1903) was an English architect who practised in Preston, Lancashire.
From 1855 Hibbert worked in partnership with Nathan Rainford.
He resigned from the council in 1898[1][2] Hibbert's finest and most important work is the Harris Museum (1882–93),[3] which is described by Hartwell and Pevsner in the Buildings of England series as "one of the largest, most imposing and memorable public buildings in north Lancashire".
[8] Other works include an extension to Preston Royal Infirmary (1866–70),[9] and the partial rebuilding of North Road Pentecostal Church in Preston (1885–86).
[10] Following his retirement he moved to a house he built in Anerley, London, where he died on 19 November 1903[2] Notes Citations Sources
