Frederick Charles Eden (8 March 1864 – 15 July 1944) was an English church architect and designer.
Frederick Eden was born in Brighton, Sussex, England. [1] He was the son of Frederick Morton Eden and Louisa Ann Parker. [2]
Eden was a pupil and later assistant of George Frederick Bodley and Thomas Garner. Subsequently he started his own architectural practice. He increasingly concentrated on designing church fittings and stained glass. [3] In 1908, he remodelled the interior of St Paul's Church in Oxford. [4] In 1910, he established a studio in Red Lion Square, London.
In 1919, Eden designed a Jesse window for the Chapel of Our Lady and St George (Lady Chapel) in St Peter's Collegiate Church, Wolverhampton, replacing a similar one which was there in pre-Reformation times, showing the genealogy of Jesus from Jesse, father of King David. It is a memorial to the worshippers of St Peter's who gave their lives in the First World War. [5][ better source needed]
Eden was a member of the Art Workers Guild. [1] There are drawings by Eden in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum. [6]
