John Elliot (antiquary)

John Elliot (fl. 1818-1845) was a British antiquary, known primarily for his research and publications concerning ecclesiastical architecture and history, particularly within the county of Wiltshire. While biographical details remain scarce, he is documented as having contributed extensively to topographical and historical studies of the period. His work often focused on detailed descriptions and measured drawings of churches, monuments, and other historical structures. Elliot's meticulous approach to recording architectural details provides valuable insight into the state of these structures during the 19th century, and his work is often consulted by architectural historians and genealogists. Although he did not produce any substantial monographs under his own name, his contributions appear in several collaborative works and periodical publications of the era, notably within the Gentleman's Magazine and similar journals dedicated to antiquarian interests. The specific dates of his birth and death are currently unconfirmed.
