Henry Holland (architect)
Henry Holland (20 July 1745〔from the family bible, page 15, Dorothy Stroud, Henry Holland His Life and Architecture, 1966, Country Life〕 – 17 June 1806) was an architect to the English nobility. Born in Fulham, London, his father also Henry ran a building firm〔page 15, Dorothy Stroud, Henry Holland His Life and Architecture, 1966, Country Life〕 and he built several of Capability Brown's buildings, although Henry would have learnt a lot from his father about the practicalities of construction it was under Brown that he would learn about architectural design, they formed a partnership in 1771. He married Brown's daughter Bridget on 11 February 1773 at St George's, Hanover Square.〔page 36, Dorothy Stroud, Henry Holland His Life and Architecture, 1966, Country Life〕 In 1772 Sir John Soane〔page 12, Gillian Darley, John Soane An Accidental Romantic, 1999, Yale University Press〕 joined Holland's practice in order to further his education, Soane left in 1778 to study in Rome. Holland paid a visit to Paris in 1787〔page 73, Dorothy Stroud, Henry Holland His Life and Architecture, 1966, Country Life〕 this is thought to have been in connection with his design of the interiors at Carlton House, from this moment on his interior work owed less to the Adam style and more to contemporary French taste.
Holland was a founder member in 1791 of the Architects' Club,〔page 135, Dorothy Stroud, Henry Holland His Life and Architecture, 1966, Country Life〕 which included Thomas Hardwick as a signtory. In the 1790s he translated〔 into English A.M. Cointereaux's ''Traite sur la construction des Manufactures, et des Maisons de Champagne''. Holland was feeling unwell in the early summer of 1806,〔page 151, Dorothy Stroud, Henry Holland His Life and Architecture, 1966, Country Life〕 on 13 June he had a seizure〔 and his son Lancelot made this entry in his diary on 17 June, 'My poor father breathed his last about 7 o'clock in the morning. He had got out of bed shortly before and inquired what the hour was. Being told he said is was too early to rise and got into bed again. He immediately fell into a fit. I was sent for, and a minute after I came to his bedside he breathed his last.'.〔 He was buried at All Saints Church, Fulham,〔page 152, Dorothy Stroud, Henry Holland His Life and Architecture, 1966, Country Life〕 in a simple tomb, a few yards from the house in which he had been born. Bridget Holland his wife lived for another 17 years〔 and was the main beneficiary of her husband's will.

Of his sons the elder Henry Jr (1775-1855). remained a bachelor. The younger son Colonel Lancelot (1781-1859), married Charlotte Mary Peters (1788-1876) and they had fifteen children. Of Holland's five daughters, two married two brothers, Bridget (1774-1844) to Daniel Craufurd (lost at sea 1810) and Mary Frances Holland (1776-1842) to Major-General Robert Craufurd (1764–1812), commander of the Light Division during the Peninsular War. Bridget later remarried to Sir Robert Wilmot of Chaddesden. The remaining daughters, Harriet (1778-1814), Charlotte (1785-1824) and Caroline (1786-1871) never married.〔
