Sculptor, decorative painter and developer, of London, for whom see Oxford DNB, Rupert Gunnis, Dictionary of British Sculptors 1660-1851 (revised edition, 1968), 446-448, and Derek Linstrum, Catalogue of the Drawings Collection of the Royal Institute of British Architects: the Wyatt family (1974), 17-18, which includes the Wyatt family tree. Matthew Cotes Wyatt was the third son of JAMES WYATT and a younger brother of BENJAMIN DEAN WYATT . In Ireland he designed and executed a memorial to Isaac Corry (d. 1813) in Newry church.(1) He also designed the panelled walls and pelmet cornices in the drawing room at Kilruddery, Co. Wicklow, in a Louix XV revival style in 1827 or 1828.(2) Either he or his brother Benjamin is most likely to be the 'Mr Wyatt' who submitted a design for the Wellington Testimonial in Dublin in 1814.(3)
