Two years later he became architect to the Representative Church Body and shortly afterwards was appointed architect to St. Patrick's Cathedral, as well as to a number of other institutions. He ran a busy, though, according to his memoirs, unconventional, practice, not keeping ledgers or books and disdaining keeping financial records. As well as his ecclesiastical projects and public building works, he designed a number of large houses around Kerry.〔 He designed Kylemore Abbey in the 1860s and a few years later the neighbouring neo-Gothic church, a building of international significance. He wrote works of fiction, including ''Culmshire Folk'' (Cassell, 1873) and ''John Orlebar, Clerk'' (Cassell, 1878) and many articles of a historical and genealogical nature. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「James Franklin Fuller」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
