Landscape painter in watercolour who was born in Norwich. William Edward Freeman studied at ;Norwich School of Art ;and later at the ;National Art Training School, South Kensington, later to become the ;Royal College of Art. On his marriage around 1870, he moved to Surbiton where he opened a shop selling artists materials. He was a member of the Thames Valley Art Club but never made a great effort to sell his work which may explain why this talented artist is not better known. He became a librarian to the Ministry of Agriculture during World War I. After the war, the family moved to Teddington in Middlesex where he continued to paint until a few weeks before his death in 1935. William Freeman painted in a bold, impressionistic style and his subjects included beach scenes Thames views and London streets.
