Rickman (1776 - 1841) was a renowned nineteenth century architect who specialised in church buildings. His Grade II listed tomb stands in the grounds of the former Church of St George in the Fields which was perhaps his greatest architectural achievement. Tragically that church was demolished in 1961 during a comprehensive slum clearance programme.
