William Hull (1820-1880), a well-known watercolour painter, exhibited at the Royal Academy in London.

Born in Grafham in Huntingdonshire, England, he painted many excellent watercolours. After suffering a stroke in his thirties, William moved to the Lake District in North West England and many of his paintings and drawings depict this area.
