William Watkins (architect)

William Watkins (1834–1926) was an architect who worked in Lincoln, England, and is particularly noted for his Terracotta Revival Architecture.

[2] Frank Peck (1863-1931) was articled to Watkins and Scorer between 1879 and 1883 before working in the office of Sir Aston Webb,[3] He was the architect for the Petwood Hotel in Woodhall Spa and Christ Church Cathedral, Nelson in New Zealand.

The practice later moved to 4 Burton Road Lincoln (now the Bronze Pig restaurant), and it ceased operating about 1990.

Watkins became a member of the City Council in 1877, served as Mayor of Lincoln in 1888-89, and became a Justice of the Peace in 1901.

It is suggested by Antram that the Lincoln Drill Hall was by Watkins[4] The attribution is incorrect – the architect was Henry Goddard.
