Thomas Worthington (architect)
Thomas Worthington (11 April 1826 – 9 November 1909) was a 19th-century English architect, particularly associated with public buildings in and around Manchester. Worthington's preferred style was the Gothic and his building designs were often similar.
==Early life==
Worthington was born in Crescent Parade, Salford, on 11 April 1826. He was the fourth of six sons of a Salford Unitarian cotton merchant, also called Thomas, and his second wife Susanna (1792–1869). He left school, aged 14, and was articled to Henry Bowman, architect (Bowman & Crowther).〔Some of his drawings appeared in Bowman and Crowther's ''Churches of the Middle Ages''; Stewart, Cecil (1956) ''The Stones of Manchester''. London: Edward Arnold; pp. 80-87〕 Before he was twenty he had won two medals: one for a church design (Royal Society of Arts) and one for an essay on "Brick" (Royal Institute of British Architects).〔Stewart (1956); pp. 80-87〕 After completing his articles in 1847, he assisted William Tite who was building Carlisle railway station but on the suspension of this work he went, in 1848, on an eight-month study tour to France, Italy and Switzerland accompanied by a friend, Henry A. Darbishire.〔Another pupil of Bowman & Crowther, later the architect of the Columbia Market in Bethnal Green.〕 Their journey took them through Tuscany, Latium and Campania; Worthington's notes and sketches from the trip provided him with a first-hand knowledge of Italian Gothic and Renaissance architecture, which provided him with inspiration for his own later work.〔
After returning to Manchester in October 1848, Worthington spent a short time gaining experience of quantity surveying, before opening his own architectural practice in King Street the following year.〔
