St Michael's Church, Chester

James Harrison (1814–66) was an English architect who worked mainly in Chester, Cheshire. He worked mainly on churches — building new churches, rebuilding old churches, and making amendments and alterations to existing churches. Harrison also designed a number of houses in the Queen's Park area of Chester,[1] and farm buildings on the Bolesworth estate.[2]

Harrison and Thomas Mainwaring Penson were the first architects to introduce buildings of the Black-and-white Revival to Chester in the 1850s.[3] His rebuilding of God's Providence House in Watergate Street is described as "the first conservation case in the modern sense".[4]
