THOMAS (1776-1841) , See also:English architect, was See also:born on the 8th of See also:June 1776 at See also:Maidenhead, See also:Berkshire, where he assisted his See also:father (a Quaker) in business as a See also:grocer and druggist until 1797. He was then engaged in various businesses until 1818. All his spare See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

- TIME, STANDARD
time was spent in sketching and making careful measured drawings, till he gained a knowledge of See also:architecture which was very remarkable at a time when little See also:taste existed for the beauties of the See also:Gothic styles. In 1811 alone he is said to have studied three thousand ecclesiastical buildings. When in 1818 a large See also:- GRANT (from A.-Fr. graunter, O.

grant of See also:money was made by the See also:government to build new churches, Rickman sent in a See also:design of his own which was successful in an open competition; thus he was fairly launched upon the profession of an architect, for which his natural gifts strongly fitted him. Rickman then moved to See also:Birmingham, and by 183o became one of the most successful architects of his time. He built churches at See also:Hampton See also:Lucy, Ombersley, and Stretton-on-Dunsmore, St See also:George's at Birmingham, St See also:- PHILIP

He also designed the new See also:court of St See also:John's See also:College, See also:Cambridge, a See also:palace for the See also:bishop of Carlisle, and several large See also:country houses. These are all in the Gothic See also:style, but show more knowledge of the outward See also:form of the See also:medieval style than any real acquaintance with its spirit, and are little better than dull copies of old See also:work, disfigured by much poverty of detail. Rickman nevertheless played an important See also:part in the revival of taste for medievalism perhaps second only to See also:Pugin. His See also:Attempt to discriminate the Styles of Architecture in See also:England shows pains-taking See also:research, and ran through many See also:editions. Rickman died at Birmingham on the 4th of See also:January 1841. He was married three times: first to his See also:cousin, Lucy Rickman of See also:Lewes; secondly to Christiana Hornor; thirdly to See also:Elizabeth See also:Miller of See also:Edinburgh, by whom he had a son and a daughter.
