Rebecca, John Biagio
Rebecca, John Biagio (fl. 1800–47). English architect of Italian descent. The son of Biagio Rebecca (1735–1808), the decorative painter, he practised in London and Sussex. He designed Castle Goring, near Arundel, Sussex (c.1795–1815), Neo-Classical on one side and castellated on the other. He seems to have specialized in Tudor Gothic, but could turn his hand to Greek Doric to some effect.
