Frederick Walters

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Frederick Arthur Walters (5 February 1849–3 December 1931) was a Scottish architect working in the Victorian and Edwardian eras, notable for his Roman Catholic churches.

Life

Buckfast Abbey

Walters was born on 5 February 1849 at 6 South Terrace, Brompton, London, the son of the architect Frederick Page Walters—with whom he served as an articled clerk for three years.[1]

After working in the office of George Goldie for nine years, he formed his own architectural practice in 1878, taking his son, John Edward Walters, into partnership in 1924.[1]

Walters, a Roman Catholic,[1] was responsible for more than fifty Roman Catholic Churches, including Buckfast Abbey and Ealing Abbey.[2] He also designed the seminary building at St. John's Seminary (Wonersh), which is on the statutory list of buildings of architectural and historical importance.[1]

Walters died on 3 December 1931 at St Mildred's, Ewell.[clarification needed][1]
