Francis Webster

Francis Webster (1767–1827) was an architect who worked in Kendal, Cumbria, England. He has been described as "the first to introduce the public profession of architecture into Kendal".[1] His family had been masons and marble polishers, and he arrived in the town in about 1787. In addition to designing houses in the town during the early 19th century, he was also involved with the promotion and building of the Lancaster Canal. His son, George (1797–1864) was to become the most important architect in the area in the early to mid-19th century.[1]
