John Lowder

John Lowder was an architect and surveyor working in Bath, Somerset, England. He was the Bath City Surveyor for a short time.

In Bath, he designed the Commissioners' church of Holy Trinity, James Street, (1819–1822) in the classical style but it was constructed in a Gothic style.^[1] Declared redundant after being severely damaged by bombing in 1942, the structure was demolished in 1957 and its congregation moved to a neighbouring church, which has subsequently been renamed Holy Trinity, Queens Square.
