Samuel Wyatt (1737-1807) was a member of a leading family of 18th and 19th century English architects.
[edit] Career
In his twenties Wyatt was master carpenter and later Robert Adam's clerk of works at Kedleston Hall in Derbyshire, which was a landmark in English neoclassical architecture. He later worked with his brother James Wyatt on The Pantheon in Oxford Street, London. He designed neoclassical country houses such as Dodington Hall in Gloucestershire and Tatton Park in Cheshire, and Trinity House in London.
Wyatt's career was diverse. He designed the Albion Mills in London, which was the first in the world to be powered by steam engines, and patented designs for cast iron bridges. He designed model farm buildings and cottages, including many on the Holkham estate, and several lighthouses, including those at Dungeness and Flamborough Head.
