Thomas
Allom
(1804-1872)
He was born in Lambeth,
south London, the son of
a coachman from Suffolk. In 1819, he was apprenticed to architect
Francis Goodwin for whom he worked until 1826. He then studied at
the Royal Academy School.He was a founder member of the Royal
Institute of British Architects and was involved with Sir Charles
Barry in the designs for the House of Parliament. His designs for
churches shown at exhibitions in 1824 and 1827 aroused considerable
interest, and he later designed many buildings in London (including
a workhouse in Marloes Road, Kensington (1847), the Church of
Christ in Highbury in 1850, the Church of St Peter in Notting Hill
in 1856, and the elegant Ladbroke Estate in west London). Further
afield his works included workhouses at Calne, Wiltshire (1847) and
in Liverpool, design of the William Brown Library also in
Liverpool, (1857-1860), and the tower of the church of Basford St
Leodegarius, near Nottingham (1860). He also worked with Sir
Charles Barry on numerous projects, including the Houses of
Parliament and the remodelling of Highclere Castle.
However, Allom is chiefly known for his
numerous topographical
works, which were used to illustrate books on travel. From the
1820s onwards, he travelled extensively through the UK and mainland
Europe. In 1834 he arrived in Istanbul, Turkey, and produced
hundreds of drawings during journeys through Anatolia, Syria and
Palestine. The results of this expedition were published in 1838 in
Constantinople and the Scenery of the Seven Churches of Asia Minor
published in two volumes with text by Robert Walsh. Emily Reeve's
Character and Costume in Turkey and Italy, published in London in
1840, was also illustrated with engravings by Allom. He is also
remembered for numerous illustrations of China, published in China
Illustrated in 1845.
Allom suffered from a heart condition in
his later years, and
although he only retired in 1870, his artistic and architectural
output slowed during the 1860s. He designed Castelnau church in
Barnes, west London, in 1868 &endash; his local church to which
he contributed £50 towards the cost of its construction
&endash; and in 1865 was commissioned to design a mausoleum for
George Dodd in West Norwood Cemetery. Allom died aged 68 in Barnes,
and was buried in Kensal Green Cemetery.
He produced many illustrations for
publications of the
topographical nature in the mid 1800s including:
