Description	Frederick Arthur Walters was born on 5 February 1849 at 6 South Terrace, Brompton, the son of Frederick Page Walters. A Roman Catholic, he was articled to his father for three years. He studied at the Royal Academy Schools from 1871 and worked in the office of Goldie & Child for nine years, of which six were as chief assistant, prior to commencing practice on his own account in 1878. He took his son Edward John Walters (born 1880) into partnership in 1924. He established a reputation as a prolific architect of Catholic churches, schools and institutions, and is seen as "a late follower of the tenets of Pugin and one of the leading Roman Catholic architects of his generation," who "was in particular demand, as an architect, in connection with church building in the southern counties" (Obituary, 'The Tablet', 12 December 1931). Note: The original drawings RIBA Drawings Collection at the Victoria & Albert Museum. The drawings listed in this series are copies. The set is incomplete.
