James Harrison (1814–66) was an English architect who worked mainly in Chester, Cheshire.
He worked mainly on churches — building new churches, rebuilding old churches, and making amendments and alterations to existing churches.
Harrison also designed a number of houses in the Queen's Park area of Chester,[1] and farm buildings on the Bolesworth estate.
[2] Harrison and Thomas Mainwaring Penson were the first architects to introduce buildings of the Black-and-white Revival to Chester in the 1850s.
[3] His rebuilding of God's Providence House in Watergate Street is described as "the first conservation case in the modern sense".
