William Slater (architect)

William Slater (1819 – 17 December 1872) was an English architect who was born in Northamptonshire and practised in London.[1] He joined RC Carpenter as his first pupil. For some years lived with the Carpenter family, and he became Carpenter's assistant.

Later Slater left to establish an independent practice with another of Carpenter's pupils, William Smith (later Bassett-Smith).

Carpenter died in 1855 at the age of 42, and Slater was persuaded to take over his practice.[2] In 1857 Carpenter's son Richard Herbert Carpenter joined him as a pupil, and became a partner in 1863.[3]

Work

Slater and Smith designed a parsonage and restored three churches.

When RC Carpenter died he left uncompleted the rebuilding of the parish church of SS Simon and Jude, Earl Shilton, Leicestershire. Slater took over the work and completed it in 1856.[4]

In 1863 Slater and an architect called Gillet directed the restoration of the parish church of SS Peter and Paul, Scaldwell, Northamptonshire.[5]
