John Cunningham (architect)

[2] In 1819, Cunningham was apprenticed to Thomas Brown, Edinburgh's Superintendent of Works, and remained in that city for 10 years.

[2][3] In 1829 he designed Greenlaw Town Hall in the Greek Revival style, using money supplied by Sir William Purves-Hume-Campbell, 6th Baronet.

[3] That same year, his patron, Purves-Hume-Campbell, 6th Baronet, died, and Cunningham and his wife moved to New York, possibly to find work.

[1] Cunningham retired and left Liverpool in the summer of 1873, returning to Edinburgh and settling in the Trinity district,[1][2][3] in order to live closer to his family and friends.

[3] There, he began a design for the St Andrews Public Halls, assisted by Campbell Douglas and James Sellars.

The grave lies on the main west path on its east side at the transition between the upper and lower sections.
