John Billing

John Billing, FRIBA was an English architect from Reading, Berkshire. His grandfather Richard Billing (circa 1747–1826), father Richard Billing (1784–1853), brothers Richard (1814–84) and Arthur (1824–96) and nephew Arthur Ernest (died 1920) were also architects.

Career

Until at least 1854, Billing practiced in Reading, Berkshire, where he was Borough Surveyor. Billing addressed a meeting of the 1849–50 session of the Oxford Architectural Society on the subject of "Parsonage Houses".

Billing had moved his practice to London by 1856, in which year he was made a Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects. Philip Webb (1831–1915) was a pupil of his.
