Thomas Meakin Lockwood
Thomas Meakin Lockwood (21st November 1829 – 15 July 1900) was born in Whitechapel, London, and brought up in East Anglia, probably in St Helen, Ipswich. From 1851 he was articled to Philip Causton Lockwood, his uncle and the Borough Surveyor of Brighton and based at Arundel in Sussex. He then worked in various offices 1855-62 including Thomas Mainwaring Penson (1817 or 18 - 1864) and George Woodhouse (ca 1829 - 1883). In 1862 he established an independent practice in Chester, based at 80 Foregate Street which was later joined by his sons, William Thomas and Philip H.

William Thomas Lockwood
Thomas William Lockwood (1863 - ?) was an English-born international rugby union forward who played club rugby for Newport and international rugby for Wales. Lockwood also played regional rugby for both Cheshire and Middlesex. His father was notable architect Thomas Lockwood.

Lockwood began his rugby career playing in England, and represented both Richmond and Birkenhead Park, the later of which he captained. On moving to Wales, Lockwood joined first class Welsh team, Newport. While playing for Newport, Lockwood was selected to represent the Welsh team, playing three games for the country, all during the 1887 Home Nations Championship. His first game, played alongside fellow Newport team mates Tom Clapp, Charlie Newman and brothers Bob and Arthur Gould, saw Wales draw against England. Lockwood was reselected for the match against Scotland, which saw Wales thoroughly beaten; Scotland running in 14 tries without reply. In his final international match Wales beat Ireland at Birkenhead Park. On 18th September 1886 The Penny Illustrated Paper & Illustrated Times published the following unhappy tale about Lockwood:-


 * "WARNING TO FOOTBALLERS.- A serious accident occurred on Saturday last to one of the football players at the first practice of the season, at Newport, Monmouthshire. The player, a young man named Lockwood, was at the head of a rush of the forwards, and was dribbling into the territory of the other team, when Davies, one of the backs, advanced to kick, but, missing his aim, struck Lockwood's right fore-leg nearly crosswise, with the result that he sustained a fracture of the bone. The game was at once stopped."

William was Clerk of Works for Newport (Monmouthshire) where, c.1883, he designed (jointly with E, A. Lansdowne) the Newport Town Hall. He also worked with Thomas Edward Collcutt - the designer of many famous London buildings. William traveled in Holland and Belgium to study architecture.
