Talman. William
architect; d. probably about 1700.
His principal work was Chatsworth House in Derbyshire, England, built, in 1681, for William Cavendish, Earl, and afterward Duke, of Devonshire. He built Thoresby House (1671, burned before 1762). In 1694 he was appointed by King William III comptroller of the works in progress at Hampton Court. Sir Christopher Wren was surveyor at Hampton Court at the same time, and was much disturbed by Talman's interference.
