Thomas Beckwith

Thomas Beckwith

Thomas Beckwith (10 February, 1731, Rothwell, West Yorkshire17 February, 1786) was an English painter, genealogist and antiquary.

The son of a West Riding solicitor, and brother of Josiah Beckwith, Beckwith was apprenticed as a house-painter to George Fleming of Wakefield before setting up business as a painter in York. However, he "seems to have spent much of his time in forming antiquarian and genealogical collections, of which he left a great mass behind him... they were so numerous that they have found their way into almost every collection of manuscripts which has been formed during the last half century." [Rose, H. J., "A new general biographical dictionary", 12 vols, 1853.] He was elected Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London.
