Edward Staveley
Edward Staveley (8 Sep 1767 - 1837) was an architect based in Nottingham.[1]
Career
He was born in 1767 in Melton Mowbray, the son of Christopher Staveley (architect) and Sarah Hill.
He was appointed Nottingham Corporation Surveyor on 10 June 1796. For his annual salary of £20 (£1,716 as of 2015) [2] he also acted as Borough Treasurer. In 1831, jointly with Henry Moses Wood, he produced a detailed plan and map of Nottingham and its suburbs.
One of his pupils was Thomas Hawksley who engineered Britain's first high pressure 'constant supply', preventing contamination entering the supply of clean water mains.[3]
Two of his other pupils, Henry Moses Wood and Robert Jalland were also successful local architects.
