JAMES FOSTER (ARCHITECT)

(Redirected from Thomas Foster (architect))

'James Foster' (c.1748 – 1823) was a mason and architect in Bristol, England.
He was initially a pupil and apprentice of Thomas Paty, working both as a stone-mason and an architect but from about 1800 his practice became entirely architectural. He was later joined by his son James (d.1836), another son Thomas, a partner William Ignatius Okely and grandson John.
