Heywood Sumner was a talented artist involved in the Arts and Crafts movement (c.1880-1920) inspired by John Ruskin and William Morris.

In his later years he became popular for his archaeological fieldwork and his drawings of it in publications on the New Forest and Cranborne Chase which he elegantly self-illustrated. He lived near Fordingbridge and died in 1940.
