- Source: John Semple (architect)
John Semple (1801–1882) was an Irish Architect who worked for the Board of First Fruits and designed such churches as Monkstown Church, Dublin and St. Marys Chapel of Ease, Dublin. He is noted for being ahead of his time in his style of architecture.
He was the eldest son of John Semple (1763–1840) and grandson of John Semple (d 1784) as well as the grand-nephew of George Semple.
His father worked for the Board of First Fruits and it is believed that he received his training from his father and in 1823-4 was taken into partnership with his father to the board.
