Samuel Wyatt

A member of the Wyatt family, which included several notable 18th- and 19th-century English architects, his work was primarily in a neoclassical style.

In his twenties, Wyatt was master carpenter and later Robert Adam's clerk of works at Kedleston Hall in Derbyshire, which was a landmark in English neoclassical architecture.

Between 1784 and 1807 Samuel worked as architect to the Holkham Hall estate,[1] he designed several farms, 'The Great Barn' as well as the new kitchen garden with its hothouses, including 'The Vinery'.

Samuel Wyatt developed a friendship with Matthew Boulton, for whom he designed Soho House in the Handsworth Staffordshire (now Birmingham) in 1789.

Together with Charles Tatham he also designed Dropmore House in Buckinghamshire, which was built in the 1790s for the prime minister at the time, Lord Grenville, who pushed through the law abolishing the slave trade.
