The grave of John Gibson - a photo on Flickriver

            John Gibson (2 June 1817 – 23 December 1892) was an English architect born at Castle Bromwich, Warwickshire.

Gibson was an assistant to Sir Charles Barry and assisted him in the drawings of the Houses of Parliament.

Gibson was a prominent bank architect at a time when joint-stock banking was an innovation. His 1849 National Bank of Scotland branch in Glasgow led to perhaps his best-known work, the former National Provincial Bank in Bishopsgate, London, designed in 1862. It was listed Grade I in 1950 and now known as Gibson Hall.

Gibson is responsible for several churches in and around North Wales, but perhaps his most notable church is St. Margaret's in Bodelwyddan, Denbighshire, more popularly known as the Marble Church, Bodelwyddan, consecrated in 1860. The church is a prominent landmark in the lower Vale of Clwyd and is visible for many miles. It lies just off the A55 trunk road.

In 1890 Gibson was awarded the Royal Gold Medal for services to architecture.

Gibson died of pneumonia on 23 December 1892, at his residence, 13 Great Queen Street, Westminster, and was buried in Kensal Green cemetery on 28 December.

Aedicule of banded stone, with an arched opening with paired arched openings., divided by sandstone shafts, on each face below a corbel table and pyramidical roof. Battered base with inscription tablet.
