Francis Greenway Totally Explained

Everything about Francis Greenway totally explained

Francis Howard Greenway (20 November 1777 – September 1837) was an iconic Australian colonial architect.
   Greenway was born at Mangotsfield, near the English city of Bristol, where he became an architect "of some eminence" in Bristol and Bath. In 1809 he became bankrupt, and in 1812 he pleaded guilty "under the advice of his friends", to forging a financial document and was sentenced to death; this sentence was later commuted to 14 years transportation. Why he pleaded guilty isn't now ascertainable; he may have been told it was the only way to save his life. He had been friendly with Admiral Arthur Phillip who was living in retirement at Bath, and Phillip wrote to Lachlan Macquarie recommending Greenway to him.
   He arrived in Sydney, New South Wales on the transport General Hewitt in February 1814 to serve his sentence.
   Between 1816 and 1818, whilst still a convict, Greenway was responsible for the design and construction of the Macquarie Lighthouse on the South Head at the entrance to Sydney Harbour Image:FG0001.jpg|St James Church
