Career
Waller was articled to the civil engineer and county surveyor for Gloucestershire, Thomas Fulljames (1808-1874), who proposed him as a Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1856. Another of Waller"s sons, Samuel Edward Waller, became an artist. Waller"s grandson Noel Huxley Waller (1881–1961) also became an architect.
Waller retired in 1900 and died at Barnwood, Gloucestershire on 22 March 1905.
Most of Waller"s architectural commissions were in Gloucestershire. He also designed a Tudor Revival extension that was added to the house at Great Tew Park in Oxfordshire.
Waller applied his architectural training to antiquarianism. In 1848 he drew a plan and sections of an historic barn at Shilton, Oxfordshire that had stone walls and an aisled timber frame.
Later the barn was reputedly gutted by fire and at the foot of his drawings Waller added "All now destroyed".
However, in 1971 the probable remains of the barn at Shilton with were identified the help of Waller"s drawings.
