William Eden Nesfield

William Eden Nesfield (2 April 183525 March 1888) was an English architect and artisan. He was a son of William Andrews Nesfield, a British landscape architect.

Nesfield was the partner of Richard Norman Shaw from 1862 to 1876, in an office on 30 Argyll Street, London. Here they mainly drew up Gothic Revival architecture, and it was not until the early 1870s that Shaw and Nesfield developed the Queen Anne architectural style, a notable example by Nesfield being Kinmel Hall.

His generic signature design was a sunflower, which can be seen on his buildings.
