About Moses Glover
Lived 1601 – 1635 (aged 33–34). Moses Glover was a cartographer and painter.
Moses Glover (born in Dunstable in 1601, fl. 1620–1640) was an English cartographer. He described himself as "paynter And Architectur", although very little is known about him apart from his maps and the church records. Glover's marriage licence, issued in 1622, described him as "painter-stainer of Isleworth". In 1635, he created a survey map of Isleworth Hundred for Algernon Percy, 10th Earl of Northumberland. It is preserved at the Syon House in London. Edwin Beresford Chancellor questioned Glover's role as an architect ("Another so-called architect of this period, who seems to have added painting to his other accomplishment..."). John Summerson wrote that the opinion of early 19th century authors was merely a "suggestion" influenced by Glover's map and survey.
