J G Graham was born in Perthshire and began his career as a clerk of works before establishing himself as an architect by 1810 specialising in Gothic churches and castellated country house architecture. Graham was associated professionally with A W Pugin for a number of years. Graham benefitted from Pugin's drawing expertise and they worked together on various projects, notably a competition entry for the new Houses of Parliament in 1835.
