George Pain Biography & Facts

George Richard Pain (1793 – 26 December 1838) was born into a family of English architects. His grandfather was William Pain, his father James Pain and his brother also James. George Richard served as an apprentice architect to John Nash of London. George Richard and James were commissioned by the Board of First Fruits to design churches and glebe houses in Ireland. He settled in Cork, Ireland. Many of his designs were produced in collaboration with his brother James Pain who practiced in Limerick. Biography Pain arrived in Ireland circa 1816, about five years after his brother James. Settling in Limerick, and then Cork, Pain remained in Ireland for the rest of his life. He died aged 45 on 26 December 1838. He was buried in the cemetery of St Mary's Church, Shandon. Buildings Authorities note the difficulty in authoritatively attributing work to, and between, the Pain brothers due to the nature of their partnership and their prolific output across the south and west of Ireland.
