MYLNE (John), the first known member of the family, was appointed about 1481 Master Mason in Scotland by King James 111. who granted him a Patent of Office, mentioned with the family coat of arms, in Nisbet's Heraldry, fol., London, 1722, i. 127 : and in Notes and Queries Journal, 3rd ser., vii.198. Alexander, his son, was Master Mason to the King. Thomas, his son, was also Master Mason to the King. " MYLNE (John), his son, Mason, came from the north " " countrie to Dundee, afterwards settled at Perth, and inpro­ cess of tyme, by reason of his skilland airt, was perferred to be the Kings Ma'ties Mr.Measone, and Master of the Lodge at Scone." Subsequent to 1580 he was engaged on the new Port or Harbour and Stone Pier, on several public works, and designed the Market Cross, all at Dundee, and 1587 contracted with George Thomson, mason, to build Lord Bannatyne's house at Newtyle, portions of which stillexist ;1599 went to Perth in reference to the proposal for erecting a stone Bridge of eleven " arches across the river Tay, to which work,in1604, he entered a 2 " as Master Mason to the brig of Tay ; in1610 his son, another John, assisted his father in completing that work, and cutting and fixingon itthe royal arms in 1616 : it was destroyed in 1621 by an unprecedented flood from a sudden melting of snow, and was not replaced ;the present Bridge of seven arches was built 1770 by J. Smeaton, over a broader part of the river. He entered KingJames VI.(1603) as "Frieman Meason and Fellow- craft," at his own desire, of the Lodge of Scone. He died in 1621, and was buried inthe Grey Friars Churchyard at Perth, where a slab withquaint lines and a coat of arms thereon still exists. MYLNE (the third John), succeeded his father in the office of Master Mason, and was Master of the Lodge at Scone. At the latter end of 1616 he was expressly sent for, and was engaged by the town council of Edinburgh to complete a Statue of King James I.in anticipation of that monarch's visit in the following year to his Scottish dominions : the statue had been commenced by Benj. Lambert. He was also engaged on several works in Edinburgh, and shortly afterwards settled in Dundee. In 1620 he entered into a contract with Lord Scone to take down the oldand build a new Church at Falkland. On Ist January 1623 one hundred pounds money was paid by " the Town Council to Johne Mylne mesone in Dundie," in " part payment for the ashlar stone worked to design and delivered fromKingoodie quarry," for the Steeple of the Tolbooth at Aberdeen (Spalding Club, Aberdeen Burgh Records, 4to. 1848, ii.379) : this steeple stillexists. In1630 he was engaged 3 to make extensive additions to Drummond Castle, Perthshire, portions of which remain, as well as the celebrated Sun-dial in the gardens executed by him. In 1633 he with the assistance of his two sons John and Alexander executed the finely worked Sun-dial now standing to the north of Queen Mary's tower at Holyrood Palace, for which he was paid the sum of £408 15*. 6d. Scots. On the death of Wm. Wallace he was appointed, 17th December, 1631, principal Master Mason in Scotland to King Charles I.which office he resigned in 1636. From 1643 to 1651 he was engaged at Dundee on considerable works at theTolhoothand Fortifications; and 1644 on the Steeple of the Town Hall, for which last he was paid 800 marks. He died in1657. MYLNE (the fourth John), was born 1611 at Perth. In 1636 he succeeded his father as principal Master Mason, and in 1637 was appointed Master Mason to the town of Edinburgh, receiving £100 Scots per annum. He made designs for two new Churches, of which the Tron Church, in the Italian style, " was finished in 1647. The monastery at Glasgow, of the Dominicans, which were brought over soon after 1220, and was founded 1270, stood where is now the College Church ; as a fine specimen of Gothic architecture, it excited the admiration of Mr. Mylne the King's Architect, who surveyed it in the 1638; it struck a thunderbolt in 1668, it was year being" by rebuilt in 1699 (Popular Encyclopedia, Bvo. Glasgow, 1841, iii.454). In1640-41 he was with the Scotch army at Newcastle. In1642 he reported in detail upon the condition a 2 4 of the whole of the Abbey Church at Jedburgh ;in1643 was, on the death of W. Aytoun, appointed Master Mason to Heriot's Hospital at Edinburgh, then only partly built, and continued the works to 1659. In1646 he received the appointment from the King of Captain of Pioneers and principal Master Gunner of all Scotland. 1647 made additions tothe College ofEdinburgh ; and later, in 1648, repaired the crown of the great Steeple of S. Giles's Church inthat city, which was thoroughly restored and decidedly altered in form byhim; in1650 built the Fortifi­ cations at Leith ;in 1652 was elected by the Crafts as one of the Commissioners for the formation of a Treaty of Union with England, and went to London towards the end of that year, where he remained tillJuly 1653, being paid with his brother Commissioners £] sterling per day during the time of his stay " there. John Miln,Master of Wark for the Mesones," was present on the 12th May, 1654, when Cromwell was proclaimed Lord Protector at Perth (Maitland Club, Chron. of Perth, 4to. Edin. 1831, p. 43). 1656 he built the house for the Pro­ fessor of Divinity,and six additional chambers to the College at Edinburgh ;1657 repaired.the Grammar School there. InOct. 1663 he had made designs for an entire new Palace at Eolyrood, associating Queen Mary's tower inthe arrangements; a plan is inthe Bodleian library at Oxford. As convener of the trades he had a seat inthe Town Council of Edinburgh for six years ending in 1664, and on several occasions represented the Metropolis in the Scotch Parliament. 1666 he made designs for and commenced the building of Panmure House, Eorfar­ 5 shire, since much altered, but which stillretains many portions, ' especially the handsome staircase ; made a design for the existing Town Hall at Linlithgow; also for a new Grammar school there: the drawings of all these still exist; executed parts of Leslie House for the Duke of Rothes; and while there at the latter end of 1667, the Town Council of Perth wrote to him to ask when it would be convenient to re­ ceive a deputation to consider as to a design for building a Market Cross for that city, "to be equal to none in the kingdom." He left Leslie House for Edinburgh, and after a few days' illness he died 24th December, 1667, in the fifty- sixth year of his age, and was buried in Greyfriars' Church­ yard, Edinburgh, on the south side of the eastern entrance gate, where a handsome tomb with an inscription records he was the sixth of the family holding the office of the King's Master Mason, and the fourth John : itis given inMonteith, Theater of Mortality, Bvo. Edin. 1704. He left no male issue. In1668 the Incorporation of Mary's Chapel placed an inscription over the entrance door of their Hall (given in Lyon, History), in which work his portrait is engraved.

  • Clerke Enwell Paroch Hial Sc Hool
    Heritage Statement and Design & Access Statement Clerkenwell Parochial School Amwell Street, Islington, ec1 Application for Planning Permission and Listed Building Consent David Gibson Architects February 2014 26 February 2014 Ref.: 0997/140226.it David Gibson Architects 35 Britannia Row London N1 8QH (fax 020 7704 6946) 020 7226 2207 Page 1 Location and Context Clerkenwell Parochial Church of England Primary School is located in the southern part of the London Borough of Islington within the New River Conservation Area. The school building and the attached former Caretaker’s House are Listed Grade II (see attached ‘list’ description – appendix A). Clerkenwell Parochial is one of the oldest extant school houses in London. If the school is to continue to run effectively and successfully, it must update itself and its surroundings, but without detracting from its charm, identity or historic character. History Clerkenwell Parochial School moved to its present site in 1828 for the education of the children in the New River Company and Lloyd Baker estates, then still under construction. The new school building, in a Tudor style and St. Mark's church, in a plain Gothic style, both by William Chadwell Mylne, the New River Company's architect, were precursors of the more vigorously eclectic revivalist styles, which were to become fashionable by the middle of the century. The Listing The school was ’Listed' in September 1972, as a ‘building of special architectural or historical interest' under Section 54 of Chapter 78 the Town and Country Planning Act 1971. The listing is at Grade II. There are now nearly 4000 Listed Buildings in Islington, of which all but a handful are Grade II, but many regard this as one of the most important because of its early date, because of its significance in the development of the historic Clerkenwell estates and because it is an unusually well-preserved pre-School Board school, retaining intact most of its original features and early adaptations - one of the few surviving in London.

    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.
