David A. Nicholson

The Nicholson family lived in an area southeast of London where the counties of Surrey, Sussex, and Kent come together.

David Nicholson was an architect. He designed the above building. At the time of his death he was employed by the Knole Park estate in Kent, near London. In its time it was the largest private home in England, claiming to have a room for every day of the year, a flight of stairs for every week of the year and an inner courtyard for every day of the week. It had one room that was always kept ready for when the King visited. The two projects of the 1830s which David Nicholson would likely have been involved with were the clock tower and the orangery. The famous garden designer Victoria Sackville-West grew up at Knole House during the 1890s and early 1900s.

David Nicholson married Maria Avery of Edenbridge, Kent. She died in 1840.
