Edward Welch (1806-1868) was an architect born in Overton Flintshire in North Wales. Having been a pupil of John Oates at Halifax West Yorkshire he formed a partnership in 1828 with Joseph Hansom who later invented the hansom cab and founded The Builder. Together they designed several churches in Yorkshire and Liverpool and also worked on the Isle of Anglesey. In 1831 they won the competition to design Birmingham Town Hall.
