List of non-ecclesiastical works by J. L. Pearson

In 1841 he left Bonomi, worked for George Pickering for a short time, then moved to London, where he lived for the rest of his life.

This led to other commissions in that part of the country, which allowed him to leave Hardwick and establish his own independent practice.

[2] Towards the end of his career he designed two new cathedrals, at Truro in Cornwall, and Brisbane in Australia; the latter was not built until after his death, and the building was supervised by his son, Frank.

Pearson also carried out work in existing churches, making additions and alterations, or undertaking restorations.

[2] Most of Pearson's buildings are in England, but he also carried out work elsewhere, for example Treberfydd, a country house in Wales, and Holy Trinity Church in Ayr, Scotland.
