J. Conway (James Conway) Walter

James Conway Walter, often listed as J. Conway Walter, was an English writer best known for books on the history of Horncastle and nearby Lincolnshire parishes. Reliable book listings connect his name with works including A History of Horncastle, from the Earliest Period to the Present Time and Records, Historical and Antiquarian, of Parishes Round Horncastle.

His writing focused on local history, antiquarian research, and the kind of place-based detail that helps later readers picture everyday life, old institutions, and changing communities. That makes his work especially valuable for listeners who enjoy regional history, genealogy, and the texture of older English towns.

I could confirm his authorship and subject area, but I did not find enough solid biographical detail in this search to safely add more about his life beyond his role as a historian of Horncastle and its surroundings.
