Basic Biographical Details
| Name: | John Claudius Loudon |
| Designation: | Architect |
| Born: | 8 April 1783 |
| Died: | 14 December 1843 |
| Bio Notes: | John Claudius Loudon is best remembered as the author of the highly influential 'Encyclopaedia of Cottage, Farm and Villa Architecture' (1833). He was Scottish-born but left for London in 1803 and his limited architectural practice did not extend north of the border. He therefore falls outwith the scope of the Dictionary of Scottish Architects; see Grove Dictionary of Art and Howard Colvin, 'Dictionary of British Architects 1600-1840' for biographical information. |
