Edward Welch

Edward Welch

Edward Welch (1806-1868) was an architect born in Overton, Flintshire, in North Wales. Having been a pupil of John Oates at Halifax, West Yorkshire, in 1828 Welch formed a partnership with Joseph Hansom, designer of the hansom cab. Together they designed several churches in Yorkshire and Liverpool, and also worked on the renovation of Bodelwyddan Castle in Denbighshire. They also designed Birmingham Town Hall in 1830, however they stood surety for the builders, which drove them to bankruptcy and the dissolution of their partnership in 1834.

In 1830 Welch went to the Isle of Man to design King William's College, and in partnership with Hansom also designed several churches on the island.

Following his parting of ways with Hansom, Welch returned to Liverpool, where he continued to practise as an architect until 1849. He died in London on 3rd August, 1868.
