James Wyatt

Turnor James Wyatt 1950 and review by John Summerson in New Statesman and nation July 29 1950. At the time he began practice the fashionable architects were the brothers Adam whose style of interior decoration he proceeded to imitate with such success that they complained of plagiarism in the introduction to their Works in Architecture which appeared in 1773. His activities at Salisbury Durham Hereford and Lichfield were bitterly criticized by John Carter in his Pursuits of Architectural Innovation and it was due in large measure to Carter's persistent denunciation that in 1796 Wyatt failed to secure election as a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries.

James Wyatt RA (August 3 1746 – September 4 1813) was an English architect a rival of Robert Adam in the neoclassical style and neo-Gothic style.
