From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert Roper (1757–1838) was an English architect who practised from an office in
Preston,
Lancashire.
[1] His works include at least two new
country houses, Claughton Hall, and Leagram Hall, both of which have since been demolished. He designed at least two new churches,
Holy Trinity, Hoghton, a
Commissioners' church, and
St John the Evangelist, Clifton. He rebuilt the
naves of the churches of
St Michael, Kirkham,
[8] and
St John the Baptist, Broughton, and also added a façade to Thurnham Hall.
