John L. Wimbush (January 1854 – 15 March 1914)[1] was an English landscape and portrait painter.
Born in London, England, Wimbush first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1889 and went on to mount several other exhibitions there over the years.
The spelling Wimbush is not found in his birth record. It is believed that letter 'L' did not stand for anything. It was just an initial. He died at Totnes – an artistic area in Devon on the South Coast – age 60 on 15 March 1914. A newspaper report in the Exeter & Plymouth Gazette ( 19 March 1914) shows that Wimbush died in the Dartmouth Cottage Hospital and was actually a resident of Dartmouth. He was buried at Townstal ( NOT Totnes ) - 18th March, and had lived a long time in Dartmouth where he was a benefactor to several groups.
