context_page_description: William Adams Nicholson was an English architect who worked in Lincoln and was a founding member of the Royal Institute of British Architects.
context_section_description: Possibly Nicholson's most important contribution was in the design of Workhouses. His pioneering Southwell Workhouse (1824) was important forerunner of the radially planned workhouses of the New Poor Law. Nicholson was to go on to design workhouses at Glanford Brigg in 1836 and at Lincoln in 1837-1838 - both of which have now been demolished.
