William Eden Nesfield was the eldest son of landscape designer William Andrews Nesfield (1794-1881).
He was an influential architect in the mid-19th century. His lodge at Regent's Park (1864) was the first Old English-style building in London, while the lodge he designed at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (1866) began the Queen Anne revival style.
Nesfield designed many country houses and estate buildings.
