Webster Paulson

Webster Paulson (11 December 1837 – 16 August 1887) was an English civil engineer who is known for his work in Malta in the late 19th century.

Born in Lincolnshire, he attended the Grammar School in Grantham before mastering the trade of a builder at Thomas Cubitt's firm in London.

In 1865, he was commissioned as a contractor in the construction of the Holy Trinity Church in Sliema, which was built to designs of Gordon MacDonald Hills (1826–1895).

[1] Paulson decided to remain in Malta, and he was therefore appointed Temporary Clerk of Works, receiving an annual wage of £60.

The burials in these cemeteries were exhumed after extensive damage due to aerial bombardment in World War II.
