John Forbes (architect)

John Forbes (architect)

John B. Forbes (born 1795?) was an architect in Cheltenham.

He designed the Pittville Pump Room for Joseph Pitt (1825-1830) and St Paul's Church (1829-1831). In 1835 he was convicted of forgery, having attempted to get out of financial difficulties by fraud: a sentence of transportation was commuted to a short prison term, but his architectural career was ended.
