Summary
Updated 2026-07-17

Francis Greenway was an English-Australian convict and colonial architect. After being convicted of forgery in England and subsequently transported to New South Wales, Australia at age 37, Greenway was appointed the colony's official architect by Governor Lachlan Macquarie despite his convict status. Over the next two decades, Greenway designed the General Hospital, St James' Church, and the Macquarie Lighthouse. His designs incorporated neoclassical architectural principles and responded to the practical needs of the developing colony.
