Rowland Plumbe, also known as Roland Plumbe (2 February 1838, Whitechapel – 2 April 1919, Willesden), was an English architect, famous for being the author of many residential schemes across London, many being considered the first examples of the Victorian Garden City. Examples of these schemes are Queen's Park Estate and Noel Park. Plumbe also redesigned Woodlands Park House, now Woodlands Park Hotel, in Cobham for industrialist William Bryant; and designed the entertainment hall (completed 1879) at the Normansfield home for people with a learning disability in Teddington, built at the instigation of John Langdon Down.〔Earl, John (1997).
