Charles Norris (etcher)

Charles Norris (24 August 1779 – 16 October 1858) was an English topographical etcher and writer who is best known for his landscape work of the Welsh countryside, especially the area around Tenby.

He came to note as an etcher of landscapes of the Pembrokeshire countryside, but mainly of Tenby.

[3] In the late 1810s, Norris was given a plot of land by the Burgesses of Tenby, in recognition of his work in promoting the town.

Norris used the land to construct Waterwynch House, a building that he lived in until his death in 1858.

[4] Many of Norris' original works are kept by Tenby Museum and Art Gallery.
