Jesse Gibson

Gibson was District Surveyor of the Eastern Division of the City of London (1774–1828), and Surveyor to the Saddlers' Company (from 1774), the Drapers' Company (from 1797)[1] and the Trustees of the Sir John Cass Foundation.

[2] In 1788–92 he rebuilt the church of St Peter le Poer in Broad Street in the City of London,[3] with an unusual circular nave and a Classical facade.

The interior was described in Britton's Illustrations of the Public Buildings of London as having "more the air of a lecture room than a church".

[4] Between 1818 and 1823 Gibson designed buildings at Moneymore on the Drapers' Company's Irish estate in County Londonderry; they included the Lancasterian Schools,[1] The Drapers' Arms [1] and Market House.

[5] In 1779 he leased an old mansion on the west side of Grove Road in Hackney from the Trustees of the Sir John Cass Foundation.
