Sir Roger Pratt (1620 – 20 February 1684) was an English gentleman-architect of the 17th century. He designed only five known buildings but was highly influential establishing a particularly English type of house which was widely imitated. He drew on a range of European influences and also on the work of Inigo Jones England’s first classical architect. Pratt also served on official commissions and in 1668 was the first English architect to be knighted for his services.
