Wikipedia:List of hoaxes on Wikipedia/Francis Bunbury

Francis Bunbury was an English architect who practised mainly in Shropshire in association with A. Moncrieff. Little is known about his early life but he is thought to have been related to the caricaturist Henry William Bunbury (1750–1811). He had Irish connections, including the evangelical novelist Selina Bunbury.

He was educated at Trinity College, Oxford, and trained as an architect in the office of O.F.O.W. Wilde. He was, for a few months, an assistant in the office of the architect Thomas Graham Jackson (1835–1924). After his death (which took place in St James's, London) on 14 February 1895, his architectural practice was continued by Messrs R. Derbyshire-Bentinck, Edward Ritchie, and Gerald Kitching.

His known architectural works are few, but include the remodelling of Gaynes Park, Theydon Garnon, Essex, for Thomas Coxhead Chisenhale Marsh, 1868–70, 'in an extravagant style that is mainly Tudor but with more than a touch of Scottish Baronial'. In the 1870s he carried a number of improvements for Robert Emlyn Lofft on the latter's estate at Troston, Suffolk, including remodelling Troston Hall and building a new school (1873).
