Henry Denison Walton was born in Calton, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland on 10 November 1862 and was articled to James Milne Monro (1840-1921) in Glasgow from 1877 to 1882. He then worked as as an assistant to James Cubitt (1836-1912) in London in 1883-84; to Robert William Edis (1839-1927) in London in 1884-85; and to William Young (1843-1900) in London in 1886-87. During these years Walton attended Glasgow School of Art and the Royal Academy Schools in London. He was a Royal Academy Silver Medallist in 1884, awarded an Architectural Association Travelling Scholarship in 1885, and was a Pugin Student in 1886.
Walton commenced independent practice in Glasgow in 1887 and from 1888 to 1894 was in partnership with William Holmes Howie (1858-1939) in Glasgow as W. H. Howie & H. D. Walton. He subsequently practised alone in Glasgow until 1919. In 1911 he was elected a Licentiate of the Royal Institute of British Architects (LRIBA). He retired from practice in 1919 and moved to Coventry in Warwickshire where he died later that year.
