Talk:Jeffry Wyatville

Aka John?
I think John Wyattville may be a middle/second name or pseudonym of Jeffry. We have an OTRS email saying that the design of Lilleshall Hall (The buildings of England Shropshire by John Newman & Nikolaus Pevsner, 2nd edition, 2006, p. 326) (and a book I found via Google books: The leviathan of wealth: the sutherland fortune in the industrial revolution by Eric Richards, University of Toronto Press, 1973, ISBN 0710074557, p. 15.) and work on Stackpole Court (The buildings of Wales Pembrokeshire by Thomas Lloyd, Julian Orbach and Robert Scourfield, 2004, p. 462) was done by Jeffry, not John. I don't have access to these books, could someone please check them and see if they are more reliable than the 2 cited websites at John:.

The History of the Alton Towers railway: including other railways & transport systems at Alton... by Peter Scott, self published, 1998, ISBN 1902368061. p. 5 states that it was Jeffrey. Is this a reliable source? -- Jeandré, 2007-03-23t08:14z


 * NO - they were brothers! John was not as well known as his brother Sir Jeffry, but equally architecturally adapt as well as being a better gardiner. Rgds, - Trident13 12:49, 23 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Do you have any sources? -- Jeandré, 2007-03-23t14:39z


 * To clear away the undergrowth here, no "John Wyattville" could be the brother of Jeffry Wyatville (his name "corrected" here by a bold Wikipedian) for the simple reason that Wyatville changed his name from Wyatt. No John Wyatt/Wyattville/Wyatville]] appears in Howard Colvin's Biographical Dictionary of British Architects, 1600-1840 (four editions; I use the third). Lilleshall Hall, in Jacobethan taste, was design by Sir Jeffry Wyatville for Lord Gower in 1826-20 (Colvin again). In spite of confident assertions "John" is a phantom, doubtless based on a misreading of someone's notes. So much for his gardining.--Wetman (talk) 22:50, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
