John Elkington Gill

John Elkington Gill (1821–1874) was a 19th-century architect in Bath, Somerset, England.

Life The former Bluecoat School in Bath is credited to Gill and Manners. Gill was born in 1821. He was partnered in the firm Manners and Gill with the more famous George Phillips Manners. Gill continued the latter's practice upon Manners' retirement in 1862. On Manners' death in 1866, he changed the name of the practice to his name alone. He set up the practice of Gill & Browne in 1874 before he died, but he was then mostly retired and the work of Gill & Brown is almost entirely the work of Thomas Browne alone.

Gill lived at 7, Mount Beacon, Bath, from the 1860s.
