Historia
George Dance the Younger was born in 1741, son of architect George Dance (1694-1768). Dance the Younger followed his father's profession, succeeding him as Clerk of Works for the City of London in 1768. He was responsible for the design of numerous London buildings including Newgate Prison, the Old Bailey Sessions House, extensions to the Guildhall, the church of Saint Bartholomew the Less, and the Royal College of Surgeons. He also worked on town planning schemes such as Finsbury Circus and St George's Circus; and helped to formulate the 1774 London Building Act. He died in 1825.
