Samuel Sherwin (original) (raw)

Samuel Sherwin (1813–1899) was an architect and building contractor who worked in Boston in Lincolnshire. His father was Dix Sherwin, a ship's chandler. In October 1849, he was apprenticed to William Stainton of Boston, builder, for the term of six years, in the "art or profession of an architect". Sherwin is often referred to as a builder, but the existence of architectural plans signed by him show that he was also a practising architect.
