Arthur Wilde PARSONS
A native of Bristol and son of Dr John Parsons, GP, he visited Cornwall on working holidays to see his brother, the vicar of Crantock, near Newquay. In 1908 the artist became a founder-member of the Bristol Savages.
A painting by Parsons of Polperro was hung at the Bristol Fine Art Gallery in 1890.
