Joseph T. Parkinson

He was a member of James Burton's Loyal British Artificers, a voluntary militia formed in consideration of the prospective invasion by France.

[3][4] Parkinson's design of Mabledon was described in 1810 by the local authority as 'an elegant imitation of an ancient castellated mansion'.

[1] He converted his father's Blackfriars Rotunda building, adding a new chemical laboratory and library for its use by the Surrey Institution from 1808.

[7] Between 1822 and 1830 he supervised the reconstruction of parts of Magdalen College, Oxford,[8] and in 1831, he directed the rebuilding of the body of Streatham's St Leonard's Parish Church.

[9] His pupils included John Raphael Rodrigues Brandon, Thomas Hayter Lewis,[10] and George Ledwell Taylor.
