Career and family
Waller was articled to the civil engineer and county surveyor for Gloucestershire, Thomas Fulljames (1808–74), who proposed him as a Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1856.[1] Waller worked in partnership with Fulljames 1846–70 and with Walter Bryan Wood from 1852.[1] One of Waller's sons, Frederick William Waller (1848–1933) was articled to his father and was in partnership with him from 1873.[1]
Another of Waller's sons, Samuel Edward Waller, became an artist. Waller's grandson Noel Huxley Waller (1881–1961) also became an architect.[1]
Waller retired in 1900 and died at Barnwood, Gloucestershire on 22 March 1905.[1]
Architecture
Most of Waller's architectural commissions were in Gloucestershire. He also designed a Tudor Revival extension that was added to the house at Great Tew Park in Oxfordshire.[2]
Antiquarianism
Waller applied his architectural training to antiquarianism. In 1848 he drew a plan and sections of an historic barn at Shilton, Oxfordshire that had stone walls and an aisled timber frame.[3] Later the barn was reputedly gutted by fire[4] and at the foot of his drawings Waller added "All now destroyed".[5] However, in 1971 the probable remains of the barn at Shilton with were identified the help of Waller's drawings.[6]
