Edward Walters (December 1808 in Fenchurch Buildings, London – 22 January 1872 in 11 Oriental Place, Brighton) was an English architect.

Life

Walters was the son of an architect who died young. He began his career in the office of Isaac Clarke, his father's former assistant, before going to work with Lewis Vulliamy and then Sir John Rennie.[1] After superintending Rennie's military building work in Constantinople between 1832 and 1837, he returned to England to practise as an architect in the provinces. His practice was based at Manchester from 1839, where his most notable work was the Free Trade Hall, referred to as the "noblest monument in the Cinquecento style in England" by Nikolaus Pevsner.

Walters retired in 1865 and then travelled in Italy and England before his death in 1872. He never married and died without issue.
