This blog has been tracking down Roger Morris (architect). We have investigated whether he is frozen, reincarnated, still-to-be reincarnated, dead, a ghost....
Now we have some disturbing news - depending on the veracity of the above.
We published a picture of 'Roger Morris' POSSIBLY talking to his wife/daughter - in reincarnated form.
We also posted a video of Lydiard House - at night and recorded some of the events.
Now we have uncovered possibly the saddest evidence of all.
The video below - sent to us anonymously - shows someone who may be Roger Morris (reincarnated). He is old. He is cold. (Fresh out of ice box) He meets (his daughter?) on the park bench.
He then goes home, in modern Britain, to eat...a cold can of baked beans.

Is this Roger - the labourer - but now calling himself Eric?
Remember that Roger Morris was born in London on 19 April 1695, the son of Owen
Morris. He is said to have been involved as a foreman bricklayer in the
building of Hanover and Grosvenor Squares. The first record of his work
as a builder was in 1724 when he took the lease of a plot of land on the
Harley estate in Oxford Street and built a house for himself. He still
described himself as a bricklayer at that date. By 1730 when he built a
larger house for himself in Green Street he was described by the rate
collector as a ‘gentleman’. He was later involved in speculative
building developments in Argyll Street in 1736 and on the approaches to
Westminster Bridge in 1740-42
Has Roger come out of hibernation too early, mistaking the 27th of May for the 4th July?
Stay tuned!
A blog about Roger Morris - architect
Lydiard house = Roger's house?
In an earlier post we hypothesised that Roger Morris was in fact living - secretly - at Lydiard House. What we did not consider was the FORM that Roger might now be.
For example - would he be in solid human form?
Could he be a ghost?
Might he be 'dead' but 'frozen' only to be reawakened?
We went there at night - this is what we found....

Could, in fact, Roger Morris (architect) be living here?
Instead of living in an ice box, could Roger Morris in fact be living in the house he built?
Marble Hill House (architect Roger Morris) is on northern banks of River Thames, situated halfway between Richmond and Twickenham, UK. Marble Hill House is a beautiful 18th Century Palladian Villa.
Doubts as to Roger Morris's whereabouts!
There has been some speculation that Roger Morris is either a) being preserved in an icebox for release on 4/5 July b) is reincarnated as a homeless person c) neither (a) nor (b) and he is in fact dead.
Previous posts have shown a homeless person who may well be Roger Morris. He does not speak so perhaps he has not mastered modern thought, word and deed?
Today we were sent the photo below that seems to bear an uncanny resemblance to the homeless person - who may or may not be Roger Morris.
Who is the girl? Could iit be his daughter or even his wife - reincarnated? Morris married twice: first to Mary who died in 1729 by whom he had two sons and then to Elizabeth Jackson in 1731, daughter of Sir Philip Jackson of Richmond, Surrey, by whom he had one son and four daughters. His eldest son succeeded him in the post of Master Carpenter to the Ordnance and lived as a gentleman in Surrey. His daughters all married well.
We will investigate further!

Roger Morris - architect....but what do architects do?
Architects design all kinds of buildings. They design schools and
skyscrapers. They design hospitals and hotels. They also design
churches, train stations and plain old regular houses.
Any building that is used by people was probably designed by some architect.
Okay then, but what does the word "design" mean? A design is simply a plan. Before constructing a building, an architect needs to draw a plan of the building. Sometimes architects will make a cardboard or plastic model of the building.
The building is then built by a construction company which follows the directions of the plans for the building. The architect will closely supervise the construction company to make sure that the building is built according to the plans.
Okay then, but but what does an architect do when he or she draws up a plan?
Architects have to thnk of many things before they draw up the plans for a building. First they have to think about what the building will be used for. How many people are going to use the building at the same time? What types of activities will these people do in the building?
An office building will need lots of small rooms for offices. A school will need many medium-sized rooms for classrooms. And a train station will need one larger room for hundreds of people to pass thru at the same time.

So what did Roger Morris, do?
Roger Morris, (1695-1749) architect, remodelled the original Anglo-Palladian villa designed at Cobham Park by John Bridges. From humble beginnings Morris became a highly influential figure in 18th century architecture, and his practice was highly prestigious. In particular, his designs at Clearwell Castle in Gloucestershire (c.1728), and Inveraray Castle in Argyll (begun 1745) were highly unique and influential. A good source about his work is 'The Careers of Roger and Robert Morris' by S. Parissien, 1989.
He bult Marble Hill!

July 4th and 5th - reappearance of Roger Morris (architect)?
July 4th is an incredibly important date. One has only to look at these important hstoric events....
The latest research we have uncovered also suggests that July 4th is the date for the re-emergence of Roger Morris (architect)!!
Morris, Roger (1695–1749). London-born architect, an important figure in the history of Palladianism, the Gothic Revival, and Castle style. A kinsman of Robert Morris, he was associated with Colen Campbell and Henry Herbert, 9th Earl of Pembroke, functioning as the last's amanuensis and interpreter of his architectural designs.
He appears to have assisted Campbell, notably on the designs for Goodwood House, Sussex, before collaborating with Herbert on a number of projects including Marble Hill, Twickenham, Mddx (1724–9), the White Lodge, Richmond New Park (1727–8), the Column of Victory, Blenheim Palace, Oxon. (1730–1), the Palladian Bridge at Wilton, Wilts. (1736–7), and Westcombe House, Blackheath, Kent (c.1730—demolished).
He enlarged Adderbury House, Oxon. (1831), for the 2nd Duke of Argyll (1678–1743), designed the stable-block at Althorp House, Northants. (c.1732–3), with a Tuscan portico based on Inigo Jones's St Paul's, Covent Garden, London (itself derived from Palladio), and produced his masterpiece, Inveraray Castle, Argyll (1745–60), for the 3rd Duke of Argyll (1682–1761). Earlier, he built Clearwell Castle, Glos. (c.1728) in a castellated Gothic style, but Inveraray was the precedent for a series of symmetrical Georgian ‘castles’, and may itself be derived from a sketch by Vanbrugh.
So might Roger Morris be a reincarnation?

Is Roger Morris in hibernation - only to reappear on July 4th and 5th?
It has now been brought to our attention that Roger Morris has been confused with Willam Adam (architect). certainly the image at the top of ths blog does look a lot like William.
Intriguingly does ths mean that Roger Morris is keeping his face and location secret only to suddenly appear on 4/5 July?
Or is the ice box simply an early form of a cyronic process?
What IS the cyronic process?
Latest figures reveal that around 150 people have had their whole body stored in liquid nitrogen in the United States, while 80 have had just their heads or brains preserved. However, there are more than 1,000 living people who have instructed companies to preserve their bodies after their death.
So the question we now ask is, Is Roger Morris (architect) currently living (i.e. preserved) in an icebox somewhere in Lydiard Park?

What IS the cyronic process?
When a person has been declared legally dead,
the cryonic preservation company is informed and it dispatches a
response team to attempt to keep the person's blood pumping around their
body. The body is packed in ice and injected with various chemicals in
an attempt to reduce blood clotting and damage to the brain.
Once the body reaches the cryonics facility it is cooled to
just above water's freezing point and the blood is removed and replaced
with organ preservation solution. The body's blood vessels are injected
with a cryoprotectant solution to try to stop ice crystal formation in
the organs and tissues and the corpse is cooled to -130C. The final step
is to place the body into a container which is lowered into a tank of
liquid nitrogen, kept at -196C.Latest figures reveal that around 150 people have had their whole body stored in liquid nitrogen in the United States, while 80 have had just their heads or brains preserved. However, there are more than 1,000 living people who have instructed companies to preserve their bodies after their death.
