John Loughborough Pearson

John Loughborough Pearson (1817-1897) was a 19th century architect renowned for his work on churches and cathedrals. Born in Durham, the son of a painter, he was initially apprenticed to architect Ignatius Bonomi whose clergy clientele helped stimulate Pearson's long association with religious architecture, particularly of the Gothic style.

His notable projects include:

• Truro Cathedral (1879-1910)

He lived in central London at 13 Mansfield Street (where a blue plaque commemorates him).
