William Marsh (1775-1864) was a British priest in the Church of England and a writer of theological publications. John Linnell (1792-1882) was a English landscape and portrait painter and engraver. He was a naturalist and rival to John Constable. He gave up portraiture in the 1840’s and moved to Redhill to devote his career to his landscapes. These paintings were highly desired and caused Linnel to amass a great deal of wealth. However, he was not favored among his colleagues and was denied membership to the Royal Academy.
