Daniel Lysons, topographer, graduated from Oxford, took orders in 1784 and became curate of Putney, Surrey, in 1790. About that time he began his survey of the environs of London. He was encouraged in this project by Horace Walpole, who appointed him his chaplain. In 1800 Lysons inherited the family estates at Hempstead Court. His principal work is The Environs of London (1792-96; second edition, 1811), and he collaborated with his brother Samuel on the Magna Brittania (1806-22).

Samuel Lysons, antiquary, attended Bath Grammar School, was trained in the law, and practised that profession until 1803, when he was appointed Keeper of the Records in the Tower of London. In 1818 he was appointed to the revived office of antiquary professor in the Royal Academy. Lysons published several volumes of engravings, and is best known for his works on Roman antiquities in England.
