. The Norwich School was a unique phenomenon in the history of 19th-century British art. Norwich was the first English city outside London where a school of artists arose, and had more local-born artists than any subsequently-formed schools elsewhere. Norwich's theatrical, artistic, philosophical and musical cultures were cross-fertilised in a way that was unique outside London.
Within the Norwich School was the Norwich Society of Artists, founded in 1803, which arose from the need for a group of Norwich artists to teach each other and their pupils. As was the case with Ninham, not all of the members of the Norwich School were also members of the Norwich Society, which held regular

s and had an organised structure, showing works annually until 1825 and again from 1828. The Society was dissolved in 1833. It was entirely because of John Sell Cotman and John Crome—who was the Society's leading spirit—that it achieved the success that it did.

John Ninham is the least well known of Crome's contemporaries and few works have been attributed to him. His ''Beach Scene'', painted in the 1760s, is considered by the historian Andrew Moore to have been important in establishing his artistic style. Ninham's series of eleven
India ink drawings of the city gates of Norwich were produced in 17921793, and were included in Robert Fitch's ''Views of the Gates of Norwich made in the years 1792-3 by the Late John Ninham'' (1861). The drawings, produced using a

, are of interest to historians as they were made just before the gates were demolished by the city authorities. John Ninham is considered to belong to the Norwich School of painters, but unlike many of the artists of the Norwich School, he was neither a member of the Norfolk and Norwich Society of Artists, nor did he exhibit there. His works were shown at the Norfolk and Suffolk Institution for the Promotion of the Fine Arts in 1831, and at the Norfolk and Norwich Fine Arts Exhibition in 1860.
John Ninham died in Norwich on 16 August 1817, his obituary being published in the ''Norfolk Chronicle'' the following week. His heraldic and printing business was taken over by his sons Henry and Thomas.

Henry Ninham
. the son of John and his wife Elizabeth Wine, and one of eight children. Nothing is known of his boyhood. He lived at 11, Chapelfield Lane, where his father ran a small copperplate printing firm. He trained under his father as an apprentice engraver and a heraldic painter, and was taught art by John Crome, who influenced his use of soft greys and pinks in his palette. As a skilled engraver Ninham was capable, according to the author William Dickes, of producing a miniature image of a peacock that was so detailed that individual feathers could be seen with the aid of a magnifying glass.
Artistic career
Henry Ninham is considered by the author Harold Day to be a minor artist. He began to exhibit after 1815, when he was in his early twenties. Over a period of fifteen years, each year from 1816–20 and afterwards in 1824, 1830 and 1831, he exhibited only sixteen paintings at the annual exhibitions of the Norwich Society of Artists, mostly of architectural subjects.

They usually featured the buildings of Norwich or its neighbouring villages, as Ninham rarely travelled away from home. One drawing he produced, of Sir Benjamin Wrench's Court (an etching now with Norfolk Museums Collections), is of importance for depicting the location of the Norwich Society of Artists' exhibitions from 1803 to 1825. The quality of Ninham's prints rivalled those made by John Sell Cotman and show a spontaneity and originality resulting from him having complete control over the engraving and printing processes.

Henry Ninham was described by contemporaries as being kind-hearted, of average height, but rather heavy and stout. He led a regular and uneventful life, but his daughter Frances Elizabeth died aged 24 in 1855, his wife Frances having died in 1845.

Reputation and legacy
Henry Ninham did not publicise himself much as an artist, preferring for instance to advertise as a 'Teacher of Perspective' in exhibition catalogues. During the 1830s he gained a reputation for the quality of his engravings and etchings, and he became an important figure in the Norwich printmaking scene. In time his limited range of subjects and lack of any connections outside Norwich caused his reputation to become limited.
![Plaque for Henry Ninham in Norwich](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/6d/Plaque_for_Henry_Ninham_in_Norwich.jpg)
He was thought highly of by the artist John Sell Cotman, who called him "a very clever painter". His works only attracted occasional interest in the local press, for instance when he was noted for his accurate and precise draughtsmanship by the ''Norwich Mercury'', in an article dated 14 August 1824, which praised the "neat delineation" of his engravings. Following the announcement of his death in 1874, the ''Norfolk News'' wrote: "Mr. Ninham was at all times ready to impart his knowledge to others, and his kind and genial manner will, apart from his artistic abilities, cause him to be long remembered by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance".
The art historian Harold Day, writing in the 1960s, described Ninham as having a "pleasing painter with a delicate sense of colour and a controlled touch", and the art historian Josephine Walpole regards Ninham as more naturally talented than his father.
He is recognised along with
David Hodgson as the foremost recorder of Norwich's buildings from the 1840s. They sometimes etched the same buildings, as with the now demolished Sir Benjamin Wrenches Court, but Hodgson tended to be more interested in depicting ruins than his contemporary. Their views of Norwich have provided historians with a valuable and accurate record of the city's streets, as many buildings that they knew have since disappeared.
