THORPE [or TnoRP], JOHN (/l. 1570-1618)

This article appears in Volume V26, Page 882 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: THE-TOO
THORPE [or TnoRP], JOHN (/l. 1570-1618) , English architect. Little is known of his life, and his
work
  is dubiously inferred, rather than accurately known, from a folio of drawings in the Soane Museum, to which
Horace
  Walpole called attention, in 1780, in his Anecdotes of Painting; but how far these were his own is uncertain. He was engaged on a number of important English houses of his time, and several, such as Longleat, have been attributed to him on grounds which cannot be sustained. He was probably the designer of Kirby
Hall
 ,
Northamptonshire
 ; the
original
  Longford Castle, Wiltshire; and the
original
  Holland
House
 , Kensington; and be is said to have been engaged on Rushton
Hall
 ,
Northamptonshire
 , and Audley End, Essex (with
Bernard
  Janssens).
See J. A. Gotch, Architecture of the Renaissance in England
(1891-1894).
