Son of the architect James Wyatt. Born Marylebone. From Your Archives "It was Wyatt who executed the enormous bronze equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington which stood on the top of the Wellington Arch at Hyde Park Corner. Erected in 1846, it was the subject of a hail of criticism and it was finally removed in 1883 to Aldershot." Died at home, Dudley Grove House, Harrow Road.
