- Walter Wallor Caffyn specialised in painting landscapes, in particular harvesting and river scenes. He lived for many years at Dorking in Surrey. Like so many of his contemporaries, Caffyn was attracted to Surrey because of its woodland, rolling hills and picturesque cottages.
Walter Caffyn exhibited at the Royal Academy for over twenty years from 1876 until the year before his death in 1897. He also exhibited at the Royal Society of British Artists (Suffolk Street) and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters.
- Abraham Hulk, Sr., born in London in 1813, was the most important member of the Hulk family of painters, which included his brother John Frederick Hulk (1829-1911), who painted landscapes and town scenes and his son Abraham Hulk, Jr., who lived most of his life in England and painted landscapes predominantly in Surrey.
