John Johnson (architect, born 1807)

John Johnson (1807 – 28 December 1878) was an English architect who specialised in religious buildings and churches in the Gothic style.

Johnson's participation in the work gave him the distinction of becoming one of a small number of architects to have undertaken such a move and subsequent reconstruction.

[4] Other religious buildings followed, including the Old Vicarage in Oakley Square, Camden, in 1861;[5] the Unitarian Chapel, Hampstead, in 1862;[6] and St Andrews Church in Hertford in 1875.

[11] Little is recorded of Johnson's private life; he enjoyed fishing, and was for ten years on the committee of the Thames Angling Preservation Society.

[11] On 1 July 1865, his only child, John George, a second assistant engineer aboard HMS Weazel, died aged 28 through drowning whilst the boat was docked in Shanghai.
