Hudson Gurney (1775-1867), antiquary and banker, portrayed here by Mary Turner (after John Opie) around the time he became a partner in the Yarmouth branch of the Gurney family's bank. While he went on to become a major partner in the family business, banking was not to Gurney's taste- he was more interested in literature and archaeology, while after his retirement from business in 1832 he devoted much of his time to building the new Keswick Hall near Norwich. For Keswick Hall see refs. 37963-4.
