John Carline (1730-1793)
From Graces Guide
John Carline (1730-1793) was an 18th-century English bridge-builder. Both his son John Carline (1758-1834) and grandson John Carline (1792-1862) continued the name - the former focussing on churches and church monuments but also building bridges.
He was born at Carline Place in Lincoln in 1730. He trained as a stonemason and around 1765 he went into partnership with a John Tilly or Tilley in Shrewsbury and together they built several bridges. In Shrewsbury he lived in a large self-built house at Abbey Foregate.
