Career[edit]
He was born in 1767 in Melton Mowbray, the son of Christopher Staveley (architect) and Sarah Hill.[citation needed]
He was appointed Nottingham Corporation Surveyor on 10 June 1796.[2] For his annual salary of £20 (£Error when using {{Inflation}}: |index=UK (parameter 1) not a recognized index. as of 2025) [3] he also acted as Borough Treasurer. In 1831, jointly with Henry Moses Wood, he produced a detailed plan and map of Nottingham and its suburbs.
One of his pupils was Thomas Hawksley[4] who engineered Britain's first high pressure 'constant supply', preventing contamination entering the supply of clean water mains.[5]
Two of his other pupils, Henry Moses Wood and Robert Jalland were also successful local architects.
