Frederick Eden was born in Brighton, Sussex, England.[1] He was the son of Frederick Morton Eden and Louisa Ann Parker.[2]

Eden was a pupil and later assistant of George Frederick Bodley and Thomas Garner. Subsequently he started his own architectural practice. He increasingly concentrated on designing church fittings and stained glass.[3] In 1908, he remodelled the interior of St Paul's Church in Oxford.[4] In 1910, he established a studio in Red Lion Square, London.

In 1919, Eden designed a Jesse window for the Chapel of Our Lady and St George (Lady Chapel) in St Peter's Collegiate Church, Wolverhampton, replacing a similar one which was there in pre-Reformation times, showing the genealogy of Jesus from Jesse, father of King David. It is a memorial to the worshippers of St Peter's who gave their lives in the First World War.[5][better source needed]

Eden was a member of the Art Workers Guild.[1] There are drawings by Eden in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum.[6]
