 Bonomi
Bonomi's masterpiece was Burn Hall, just south of Durham, but he also worked at Lambton Castle and may well have designed the Edens' mansion, Windlestone Hall.
Dinsdale Park school was designed by Bonomi for Lord Durham in 1829 as a seventy-room hotel with seven acres of pleasure grounds 'for seclusion and medical treatment' connected with the short-lived spa (a sulphur well had been found in 1789).
Ignatius Bonomi also supervised the rebuilding of the magnificent mansion Wynyard Park, after the fire of 1841.

 Ignatius Bonomi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was the son of an architect and draughtsman, Joseph Bonomi (1739-1808), who had worked with Robert and James Adam, while his brother Joseph Bonomi the Younger was a noted artist, sculptor and Egyptologist.
Ignatius's work (he was Surveyor of Bridges for the County of Durham) included one of the first railway bridges in the UK (over the River Skerne, near Darlington), for the Stockton and Darlington Railway, in 1824 (hence he is sometimes referred to as 'the first railway architect').
In 1831, Bonomi took on John Loughborough Pearson as an apprentice.

Despite his Italian-sounding name, Ignatius Bonomi (1787-1870) was an English architect and surveyor, strongly associated with Durham in north-east England.
His work included one of the first railway bridges in the UK (over the River Skerne, near Darlington), for the Stockton and Darlington Railway, in 1824 (hence he is sometimes referred to as 'the first railway architect').
He was also responsible for a number of church buildings (including commissions at Durham Cathedral) and historic buildings in Gothic and neo-classical styles, including Durham Castle, Lambton Castle and Burn Hall in County Durham.

The letter written by Joseph John Scoles from Argyll Place on 13 November is addressed to "Robert Hay Esq, Ormiston Hall, TRANENT." In it there are references to Bonomi: it seemed that this man was Ignatius Bonomi (1787-1870) a member of the Institute of British Architects.
Ignatius worked originally in Durham, where he not only had a considerable clientele among the local aristocracy and the clergy -- both Anglican and Catholic, but he also held the post of Surveyor of Bridges for the county of Durham.
Ignatius Bonomi was a competent designer in neo-classical and Gothic styles, and in the 1830's he had been engaged as architect for Burn Hall County Durham, (a job which had taken more than 13 years), and various other commissions in Yorkshire.

 St Catherine: Crook   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Designed by Ignatius Bonomi, an architect based in Durham City, St.Catherine's Church was built in the Victorian understanding of Early English Style.
St.Catherine's was one of Bonomi's "cheap churches", so called because it was funded largely by the Incorporated Church Building Society (based in London) whose main pre-occupation was not so much aesthetics as the provision of "free sittings".
Despite the many and considerable changes to the church building, despite the progressive encroachment on Bonomi's light and space and simplicity, it still retains much of its original style and feel.

 Saint Laurence Church, Pittington   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The church was further extended and would have provided a grand complement to the Prior of Durham's manor house which was on land to the North.
The most dramatic alterations, and those which largely determine the appearance of the church you see today, are due to enthusiastic Victorian "restoration" by Ignatius Bonomi in 1846-7.
One feature of note from the Bonomi building programme is the easternmost pillar of the North arcade.

 About the Victoria County History
It has been argued that the only architect in County Durham in the very early nineteenth century was Ignatius Bonomi (c.1787-1870) who was the county surveyor of bridges in Durham, and who also practised privately.
[5] Bonomi did work in Darlington, on St Augustine's RC Church, Coniscliffe Road, in 1825-7, an early example of a Gothic style being used in the town.
Of the buildings by outside architects, the most important was St Hilda, Parkgate, a church by John Loughborough Pearson, designed in 1886 and built by 1888 when he was at the peak of his powers as an ecclesiastical architect and just as the first phase of his Truro Cathedral was being completed.

For the crossing of the Skerne in Darlington, however, he engaged an eminent architect, Ignatius Bonomi, then road and bridge surveyor to the County.
The bridge, still extant, is shown in John Dobbin's painting of the opening of the railway (pictured above).
