Samuel Sutton Rawlinson
Samuel Sutton Rawlinson (1809 – 18 July 1880[1]) was an architect and engineer known for his work in Nottingham.
Life
He was born in Wallingford, Berkshire in 1809, son of George Rawlinson. In 1827 he was living in Bridgewater, Somerset as an articled clerk to Richard Carver. His father was also in Bridgewater as a lace manufacturer.
In 1853 he was on the board of the Scottish Widows' Fund Life Assurance Society.[2]
Later he worked as a dealer in lace and silk in Clapham.
He was clearly successful in business as his estate was valued at £60,000 (equivalent to £6,020,000 in 2019)[3] on his death on 18 July 1880.
A stained glass window was inserted in St Peter's Church, Streatham, in memory of him and his wife Ann, in 1882, by their children.
