Clark Rampling was the son of Clark Rampling and Eleanor (nee Mason) of Brandon Suffolk and the uncle of Robert Bushell Rampling who also trained as an architect and practiced variously in Liverpool and Preston (qv).  He was a pupil of Richard Brown and in 1818-1819 he was employed in the office of C H Tatham London before moving to Manchester, where he placed a curious advertisement seemingly offering a respectable youth the freedom of the City of London.  - "Mr Rampling, architect and Surveyor, begs to inform his Friends and the Public that he has removed his office to No 21 Cooper Street, the corner of Booth Street. Mr R has now a vacancy in his office for a respectable youth, who has a taste for Drawing, and a knowledge of Mensuration, as an apprentice; he may by his servitude, obtain the Freedom of the City of London." [Manchester Guardian 21 May 1825 page 2]

He then began practice in Liverpool and Birkenhead in 1832, retiring from practice about 1868. On his retirement he moved to Quarry Bank, Tranmere where he died on 7 March 1875
