James Pain

[1] James Pain served as an apprentice to the architect John Nash of London.

[2] James and George Richard were commissioned by the Board of First Fruits to design churches and glebe houses in Ireland.

Many of his designs were produced in collaboration with his brother George Richard who practised in Cork.

[4] Born in England, Pain came to Ireland c. 1811 to supervise the construction of Lough Cutra Castle in Galway.

[6] Though often assumed to have lived as a bachelor, there is evidence to suggest that Pain was married to a Harriet Henman, who died in April 1834.
