Jupp, Richard (1728–1799), architect and surveyor, born in London, was the elder son of Richard Jupp (fl. c.1700–c.1770) of St John's parish, Clerkenwell, master of the Carpenters' Company in 1768, to whom he was apprenticed, and possibly Sarah Bibings (fl. c.1700–c.1734). Jupp spent some time studying abroad; the Architects' Club, of which he was one of the fifteen founders in 1791, required its members to have studied architecture in Italy or France. Appointed architect to Guy's Hospital in 1759, he supervised construction of the west wing (1774–7) and remodelled the main front (1774–8). He also designed Dyers' Hall, Dowgate Hill (1768–70, rebuilt 1839), and designed or remodelled at least four country houses, including Painshill House, Cobham, Surrey, for Benjamin Bond Hopkins (the design for which was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1778); Wilton Park, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire (c.1790) for Josias Dupré, governor of Madras; and Park Farm Place, Eltham, for Sir William James, bt, a director of the East India Company, for whose widow he constructed a commemorative triangular Gothic tower, Severndroog Castle, Shooter's Hill, Kent (1784).
