Walter Ernest Tower studied at the Royal Academy and was a pupil of his uncle Charles Emer Kempe in London where he lived and worked. He was also an architect. He made many stained glass windows in Great Britain and elsewhere.
On Charles Kempe’s death in 1907 the firm was reformed as C. E Kempe & Co. Ltd and Walter Ernest Tower (1873–1955), was appointed Chairman. Tower thenceforth used a black tower above the golden garb.
