William Edward Mayes

William Edward Mayes (1861 – April 12, 1952) was an English painter from Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.

His primary medium was watercolour and most of his paintings are representational landscapes of Norfolk, particularly the Norfolk Broads, in the style of S J Batcheldor. He was a member of the Royal Academy and a founder member of the Great Yarmouth and Gorlaston Art Societies.

Mayes was the second son of a sea captain, John Maurice Mayes. He married Rosanna Downing, daughter of another sea captain in 1884 and they had five children. Mayes was manager of the Yarmouth Foundry until he retired in the early 1920s. He died aged 91.
