Lynn, William Henry

(b St John’s Point, Co. Down, 27 Sept 1829; d Belfast, 12 Sept 1915). Irish architect. He was apprenticed to CHARLES LANYON in Belfast in 1846, serving as clerk of works on Lanyon’s Queen’s College and County Court House. In 1854 he was taken into partnership by Lanyon and remained with him until 1872 when the firm was dissolved and Lynn set up practice on his own. He was a prolific designer with an eclectic taste and a scholarly interest in historic styles, at first mainly medieval but later also classical.
