Births Mar 1883 Walters Arthur George A Saffron W. 4a 575
He was 36 and the son of Eliza Walters and the late George Walters; husband of Edith Walters, of 123, Stanley Rd., Teddington, Middlesex, England.
Saffron Walden is a market town in the Uttlesford district of Essex, England, 12 miles north of Bishop's Stortford, 15 miles south of Cambridge and 43 miles north of London. The main trading item in medieval times was wool. A guildhall was built by the wool-staplers in the market place, but demolished in 1847 to make way for a corn exchange. In the 16th and 17th centuries the saffron crocus (Crocus sativus) was widely grown, thanks to the town's favourable soil and climate. The stigmas of the flower were used in medicines, as a condiment, in perfume, as an aphrodisiac, and as an expensive yellow dye. The industry gave Walden its present name. In the records of the Court of Common Pleas, the town was called Magna Walden in Hilary Term 1484, and Chipping Walden in the 15th and early 16th centuries, but by the 1540s it had become Saffron Walden.
He is remembered on the Saffron Walden War Memorial.
