Robert Roper (1757–1838) was an English architect who practised from an office in Preston, Lancashire.[1] His works include at least two new country houses, Claughton Hall,[2] and Leagram Hall,[3] both of which have since been demolished. He designed at least two new churches, Holy Trinity, Hoghton, a Commissioners' church,[4][5] and St John the Evangelist, Clifton.[6] He rebuilt the naves of the churches of St Michael, Kirkham,[7][8] and St John the Baptist, Broughton,[6] and also added a façade to Thurnham Hall.[9][10]
