James Gibbs (23 December 1682 – 5 August 1754) was one of Britain’s most influential architects. Born in Scotland he trained as an architect in Rome and practised mainly in England. His most important works are St Martin-in-the-Fields in London and the cylindrical domed Radcliffe Camera at Oxford University.Gibbs very privately was Roman Catholic and a Tory and was therefore not part of the Palladian movement which was prevalent in English architecture of the period.
