Life

Edward Browning was the son of the Stamford architect Bryan Browning (1773-1856). He was apprenticed to the London architect George Maddox and by 1847 was in partnership with his father. The partnership continued until his father's death in 1856. Edward Browning qualified as an ARIBA on 22 March 1847. Their architectural practice was at No. 16, Broad Street, Stamford.[1] The Stamford architect Joseph Boothroyd Corby was a pupil of Browning and the architectural practice was continued by J. C. Traylen.

He became Mayor of Stamford in 1862-3.
