Artist Biography
William Walter Wheatley (1811-1885) was a topographer, draughtsman, and watercolourist. He was born in Bristol and lived in Frome, Rode, and in Bath from 1852. He painted village scenes, country houses, and old inns of Somerset and produced over 1500 views of churches and aspects of their interior for the Rev. J.S.H. Horner of Mells, some of which are in the collection of the Society of Antiquaries in London. G.W. Braikenridge of Brislington employed Wheatley to illustrate Collinsons's 'History of Somerset'; the artwork was bequeathed to the Somerset Archaeological Natural History Society and is now held at the Somerset Study Library in Taunton.
