Life
Michael Drury was born about 1832 in Lincoln. He was apprenticed to the Lincoln architect William Adams Nicholson and appears to have continued his practice, working from No 1, Bank Street (on corner with Silver Street) in Lincoln. He became Lincoln City Surveyor and 1868 was called upon by the City Council to give evidence about the state drains in the city, which were giving rise to much ill health. Later in 1878 he was responsible for the new drainage and sewerage scheme for Lincoln and kept extensive notes on the many Roman discoveries that were made in the Bailgate and along the High Street in Lincoln. In 1863 he was the Curator and sub-treasurer of the Lincolnshire Architectural and Archaeological Society. In 1881 he was living at Foss Lodge, Lincoln. Drury specialised in church restoration work. Around 1870 he joined William Mortimer in a partnership which lasted into the 1880s.
