context_page_description: William Haywood was an architect who worked in Lincoln, England. His father John who died in 1817 was mayor of Lincoln twice and worked as a mason. Haywood succeeded his father as mayor after his death in 1817. His grandfather, John Hayward was also a mason in Lincoln. William Hayward's great grandfather was Abraham Haywood an architect of Whitchurch, Shropshire who came to Lincoln around 1720. William Haywood succeeded William Lumby as Surveyor to Lincoln Cathedral in 1799 and Edward James Willson followed him in this position in 1823. William Hayward also succeeded William Lumby as Surveyor for the Lincolnshire County County Committee, which had responsibility for Lincoln Castle and the prison.
  Howard Colvin considered Hayward to be a competent designer in the ‘Regency’ style and that from the re-construction of Kirton in Holland church in 1804 had an understanding of Gothic architecture quite remarkable at that date. Hayward also rebuilt the tower of Wrangle church in a similar style in 1820.
context_section_description: Lincolnshire Shire Hall.  Lincoln Castle, 1802. Rearranged interior. The building was demolished in 1823.
  . 
  The City Sessions House and Prison, Monks Road. 1805-9. The prison was built to replace the former squalid City prison adjacent to the Stonebow in Saltergate. The surviving door to the prison on the south side of the building is magalithic in appearance, presumably to give the impression that it was impregnable. The gaol continued in use until 1878, when the gaol on Greetwell road was opened and the City and County prisons were combined ‘ The magistrates courts continued until the new magistrates courts were opened in 1990 at St Marks in the High Street.
  The Judges Lodging’s, Castle Hill, Lincoln. 1810-11. Whitish- yellow bricks giving the impression of stone-possibly the earliest example of  the use of these bricks in Lincoln. Nine bays with t he three centre bays with pediment over. Stone doorway with Tuscan columns.
  Gowt’s Bridge, 1813.
