George Wightwick

George Wightwick (26 August 1802 – 9 July 1872) was a British architect based in Plymouth, and possibly the first architectural journalist.

In addition to his architectural practice, he developed his skills and the market for architectural journalism. His views of church design disagreed with those of churchmen with power to commission new churches and this work dropped off after he published his ideas in ''Weale's Quarterly papers on Architecture'' in 1844/5. He married twice but had no children and died at Portishead on 9 July 1872. Provided by Wikipedia
