William Arthur Heazell was born on 7 January 1831, the son of Robert Heazell (1799-1867) and Mary (1809-1872). He was educated at Standard Hill Academy, Nottingham.[1]

He was articled to Messrs Waler of Nottingham in 1846 and later was assistant to Walker and Rawlinson.

He was President of the Nottingham Architectural Society in 1883.
