Thomas Fulljames

Thomas Fulljames FRIBA (4 March 1808 – 24 April 1874) was an architect active in Gloucestershire, England, in the first half of the nineteenth century.

As diocesan surveyor from 1832 until 1870, latterly in partnership with Frederick Sandham Waller, he designed, reconstructed or extended a number of churches in Gloucestershire.

He built Foscombe house for his own use in Ashleworth, Gloucestershire, which has been classified as a grade II* heritage building.

Since this was before commercial electricity production, the first proposals were based on the desire for a large shipping harbour in the Severn Estuary, road and railway transport, and flood protection.

[9] Other projects by Fulljames in Gloucester include the Albion Hotel (1831) in Southgate Street, later known as Albion House;[1] Norfolk Buildings (1836) in Bristol Road;[15] and the "picturesque Gothic" Gloucester Court of Probate (1858) on the corner of Pitt Street and Park Street,[5] probably as a result of the Court of Probate Act 1857 which removed probate proceedings from the ecclesiastical to the civil courts.

His will was proved by his wife Catherine and the executors John Jackson Myers of Huyton, and James Wintle of Newnham.

[19] In 1970 and 1987, records relating to Fulljames were among those deposited in the Gloucestershire Archives by the Astam Design Partnership where they had been stored in the attic of the firm's former offices in College Green.
