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:
