Thomas Ignatius McCarthy

Thomas Ignatius McCarthy, LRIBA (born 31 January 1880, died 13 Feb 1951) was an architect based in Coalville, Leicestershire.

Early in the twentieth century, Thomas Ignatius McCarthy set up a practice as a surveyor and architect in Coalville, which was a partnership shared with Henry Collings (1880 - 1960). Collings was responsible for the design of the Coalville Clock Tower war memorial - a building admired by Pevsner.
