Richard Jameson

In the novel Nemesis, Richard Jameson is a young architect. He was a passenger on the Famous Houses and Gardens tour.

Richard is described as a "tall, thin man of about thirty with a highly technical vocabulary".

When the tour group visits a Queen Anne Manor House, Richard is full of admiration for the structural beauty of the house. He is "the kind of young man who is fond of hearing his own voice", and so slows down in nearly every room, "pointing out every special moulding of fireplace, and giving historical dates and references".

After the death of Miss Temple, Richard decides to continue with the tour, as he wishes to see some buildings that are of special interest to him.
