2024: An interview with the author of a new biography, David Lascelles’s 'Horace Jones: Architect of Tower Bridge', is very informative, as follows:

Born near Cheapside. In addition to the structures where we have found memorials, Jones also designed many local housing schemes in Camden and the West End, including Lascelles’ own home in Kentish Town. In 1833, he was involved in the redevelopment of Rosslyn Park mansion and grounds into housing (near this plaque). In 1856 he designed a new wing for the Royal Free Hospital and in 1886 he designed the keepers’ lodge in Highgate Woods. He died at home in Devonshire Place, Marylebone.
