John Hiram Haycock (1759-1830) was an architect who built many notable buildings in Shropshire and Montgomeryshire . He was the son of William Haycock (1725-1802), a carpenter and joiner of Shrewsbury . He was apprenticed to his father and became a freeman of the Shrewsbury Carpenters’ and Bricklayers’ Company in 1796. From about 1814 he worked in partnership with his son Edward Haycock, Sr. , and became the Shropshire county surveyor in 1824.[ 1]
