Elizabeth Wilbraham is remembered for work that changed how the next generation built.
The record lists Elizabeth Wilbraham as English architect.
Elizabeth Wilbraham was born in 1632. Her recorded nationality is England.
Baroque and neoclassical building served courts, churches and states, and architecture became an instrument of display.
She is recorded as architect.
Her best-known building is Weston Park. Of all the arts, architecture is the one whose failures are hardest to remove.
That the work was built in England shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
Elizabeth Wilbraham died in 1705, aged 73. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
