Richard Lane (3 April 1795 – 25 May 1880)[1] was an English architect of the early and mid-19th century. Born in London and based in Manchester, he was known mainly for his restrained and austere Greek-inspired classicism. He also designed a few buildings – mainly churches – in the Gothic style.[2] He planned and designed many of the houses in the exclusive Victoria Park estate.
