p599 Jupp, William (1734-1788),
was one of the sons of Richard Jupp, Master of the Carpenters’ Company in 1768, to whom he was apprenticed, being made free of the company in 1753. He exhibited two designs for gentlemen’s seats at the Society of Artists ib 1763 and 1764, and an unexecuted design for a county house signed by him was at the Platt Hall Gallery, Rusholme, Manchester. He rebuilt the LONDEN TAVERN, BISHOPSGATE STREET WITHIN (dem 1876) after its destruction by fire in 1765. The entrance hall and principal staircase of CARPENTERS’ HALL, LONDON WALL,were erected to his designs, c 1780. The entrance hall was decorated in stucco work with figures and implements emblamatic of carpentry, and with the heads of Vitruvius, Palladio, Inigo Jones and Wren, executed by Bacon. The archway forming the entrance to the street was also designed by Jupp, with a bust of Inigo Jones by Bacon on the keystone. The staircase was damaged by fire in 1849 and the Hall itself was demolished in 1876. Both at Carpenters’ Hall and at the London Tavern, Jupp appears to have been assisted by William Newton, who certainly designed the Eating-Room and Ballroom of the latter building. Jupp was a warden of the Carpenters’ Company in 1781 and died on 16 November 1788. He was the father of Willam Jupp (d 1839) and of Richard Webb Jupp, who was Clerk to the Carpenters’ Company from 1796 to 1852.
The latter’s son, Edward Basil Jupp, FSA (1812-1877), Clerk to the same company from 1852 to 1877, was the author of an Historical Account of the Worshipful Company of Carpenters, 1848, 2nd ed 1887, from which the above particulars are largely derived.

His brother,
William Jupp the elder (1734–1788), architect, born in London, was likewise apprenticed to their father. He was made free of the Carpenters' Company in 1753, and became a warden in 1781. He exhibited country house designs at the Society of Artists in 1763 and 1764, but his principal works were in the City of London. He rebuilt the London tavern, Bishopsgate Street Within (dem. 1876), after a fire in 1765, and was employed in making plans for the Carpenters' Company's Stratford estate (1769), and improvements to their London Wall property (1777 and c.1784). About 1780 he designed the entrance hall and staircase of Carpenters' Hall, London Wall (dem. 1876). He married Mary Webb (c.1745–1809) in 1765; they had five sons and five daughters. He died at his house in St Clement, Eastcheap, London, on 16 November 1788.
The elder brother of William Jupp the younger,,
Richard Webb Jupp (1767–1852), lawyer was born on 29 July 1767 in the parish of St Nicholas Olave. He was elected clerk to the Carpenters' Company in 1798, several years after his
marriage to Sarah (d. 1844), daughter of the Revd Morgan Jones DD, with whom he had six sons and five daughters.
When he died, at home at Carpenters' Hall, London Wall, London, on 26 August 1852, he was the senior member of the corporation of London.
Richard Webb Jupp's youngest son, Edward Basil Jupp (1812–1877), lawyer and antiquary, was born on 1 January 1812 at Carpenters' Hall. A partner in his father's law firm, in 1843 he was associated with him as joint clerk to the Carpenters' Company, succeeding him on his death. A fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, he compiled a history of the Carpenters' Company (1848). He also collected and grangerized catalogues of English art exhibitions, publishing descriptive lists of his collections in 1866 and 1871. His notable collection of the work of Thomas Bewick was sold at Christies in February 1878.
He married on 10 May 1845 Eliza Margaret, daughter of Joseph Kay, architect, with whom he had five sons and three daughters; she survived him. He died at 4 The Paragon, Blackheath, London, on 30 May 1877 after a few days' illness.
