Biographical Details	Probably a Bristol mason, he was employed by Maynard Colchester as a stonecarver during the building of Westbury Court, Glos, between 1743 and 1745. In February-March, 1745 he was paid for carving ‘Lions’, probably heraldic beasts for a shield-of-arms, or for the gate piers (1) (Archives, Sir Francis Colchester-Wemyss, cited by Gunnis 1968, 56).
