Biographical Details	The son of Richard Bellamy, a tailor of St Botolph’s, Aldgate, he was apprenticed to James Paget (or Padgett) on 12 March 1714 and became free of the Masons’ Company on 30 June 1721. He signed two large architectural monuments (1, 2). He was employed at the house of James West in Lincoln’s Inn Fields in 1753 (Archives, West of Alscot Park, cited by Gunnis 1968, 50). In March 1754 Bellamy, whose workshop was in Camberwell, wrote to the Masons’ Company asking to be allowed to resign from the post of Assistant to the Court, as being ‘oblig’d on account of my Health, to live in the country’. His request was granted. Literary References: Gunnis 1968, 50 Archival References: Masons’ Co, Court Book, 1751-96 (28 March 1754); Freemen, fol 5 (30 June 1721)
