Notes From Elsewhere
James Park Harrison (1816-1901)
James Park Harrison (1817-1901) was a Victorian architect, born in Bloomsbury. He studied at Oxford and then Lincoln's Inn. He was associated with the Oxford Movement and with John Keble (1792–1866); the Ecclesiological Society approved of him. By 1851, living near Dorking, he had largely given up architecture, preferring to call himself an annuitant and MA of Oxford. For the remainder of his life he devoted himself to archaeological and ethnographic studies of the most varied kinds. As a widower he lived in a succession of lodgings until taken in by his son, a retired naval officer, in Sydenham, where he is to be found in 1901
Matthew James Harrison, was born about 1846 at Bloomsbury in Middlesex and was baptised on the 21st September 1846 at Holmwood, Surrey. Matthew´s parents and Thomas´ paternal grandparents were James Park Harrison, a shareholder, born about 1817 at St George the Martyr in Middlesex, and Julia Anna Harrison born about 1808 at Pentonville in Middlesex. During the 1851 Census the family lived at Dorking.
