Critic, novelist, writer on art, fellow of Brasenose College, Oxford (where he spent most of his life). He died intestate, but his estate passed to his sister Clara Ann Pater of Oxford. On the death of Clara Ann Pater in August 1910, the estate passed by her will (probate London, 15 October 1910) to another sister, Hester Maria Pater.
