Charles Kirk (senior)
Charles Kirk (1791–1847) was a builder and architect who worked on many buildings in Sleaford and South Lincolnshire, England.
==Career==
The architect and builder Charles Kirk was born on 10 March 1791 at Wigston Magna, Leicestershire. The Kirk family had long been connected with the building trade and Charles' father, William (1749-1823), was a builder and architect in Leicester.〔Colvin H. (1995), ''A Biographical Dictionary of British Architects 1600–1840''. Yale University Press, 3rd edition London, 589〕 Charles Kirk came to Sleaford in 1829 to undertake the building of the new "Sessions House" at Sleaford which had been designed by the London architect H E Kendall〔Brock D (1984), ‘‘The Competition for... The Sleaford Sessions House’’ Architectural History, Vol 27〕 and when the work was completed he decided to stay in Sleaford. In the years that followed, Kirk's building business and architectural practice flourished and he was involved in the construction or planning of many of Sleaford's new buildings, including Carre's Hospital, Carre's Grammar School (1834) and the Gasworks (1838). He formed a partnership with Thomas Parry, who had been an articled clerk with Kirk's firm. In 1841, Parry married Charles Kirk's daughter, Henrietta. Following Charles Kirk's death in 1847, the firm was taken over by his son, also called Charles in partnership with Parry. The business continued to prosper and Kirk and Parry established a countrywide reputation for their railway buildings and church restorations. Kirk was buried at Quarrington near Sleaford.〔”Antram” (1989), pg. 605〕
