John Forbes

John B. Forbes was an architect in Cheltenham. He designed the Pittville Pump Room for Joseph Pitt and St Paul's Church. In 1835 he was convicted of forgery, having attempted to get out of financial difficulties by fraud: a sentence of transportation was commuted to a short prison term, but his architectural career was ended.
