William Franks (died 1790)
William Franks (died 1790) was instrumental in the development of Percy Street, Rathbone Street and Charlotte Street in central London in the area now known as Fitzrovia.
==Building works==
In the 1760s, Franks, a "gentleman", was granted various building leases by land-owners Francis and William Goodge on ground in the area now known as Fitzrovia. As a result of these leases he was responsible for the construction of large parts of Percy Street, Rathbone Street and Charlotte Street.〔(Percy Street. ) ''Survey of London'': Volume 21, the Parish of St Pancras Part 3: Tottenham Court Road and Neighbourhood.

The chapel was demolished in 1867. It stood immediately opposite the western end of Windmill Street.〔(Charlotte Street. ) ''Survey of London'': Volume 21, the Parish of St Pancras Part 3: Tottenham Court Road and Neighbourhood.

Also in 1765, Franks granted a lease to Joseph Francis of the house which is now The Marquis of Granby public house.〔(Rathbone Street. ) ''Survey of London'': Volume 21, the Parish of St Pancras Part 3: Tottenham Court Road and Neighbourhood.
