Artist, father in law of Hogarth. He designed the Great West Window and the North Transept Window at Westminster Abbey, but his greatest success was the paintings on the interior of St Paul's Dome - the London equivalent of the Sistine Chapel! The site of his grave was lost when the church was rebuilt in 1792.
