Arthur William "Billy" Ecclestone (7 January 1901 – 1984) was an English architect and the chief surveyor for the Norfolk brewers Lacons in the first half of the twentieth century.

In that capacity, he was responsible for the design of a number of their public houses, two of which are now listed buildings with Historic England.

From the 1920s to the 1960s he worked for the Lacons brewery in Great Yarmouth for whom he was the chief surveyor and responsible for their pub designs.

[3] His designs include the Clipper Schooner (1938) in Great Yarmouth[4] with a decorative tiled panel showing a sailing ship that the Tile Gazetteer described as typical of Ecclestone's practice in his modern pub designs;[5] the Iron Duke in Yarmouth (late 1930s, completed 1948); and the Never Turn Back in Caister-on-Sea (1957) which he designed in the Art Deco and Streamline Moderne styles as a memorial to the nine lifeboatmen who died in the Caister lifeboat disaster of 1901.

[1] Ecclestone was a historian of Great Yarmouth and published a number of articles and books on the town:[13] Gorleston.
