John Berry Clacy (1810–1880) was a Victorian architect whose practice was centred on Reading and Wokingham in the English county of Berkshire.[1]
Family[edit]
John's paternal grandfather and his ancestors were long resident around Barkham in Berkshire.[2] John was brother-in-law of the Australian travel writer, Ellen Clacy.
Career[edit]
Most of Clacy's significant works are Gothic Revival buildings, but the Corn Exchange in Reading that he designed with F. Hawkes is in a style that Nikolaus Pevsner described as "free, debased Renaissance".[3] Clacy's son had joined him in his practice by 1862.[4] In 1868 Clacy and Son's practice was recorded as being in Reading.[1]
