John Rock Jones (c.1836-c.1898)
 
The son of John Rock Jones senior, Jones was born on the Isle of Man and raised and educated in Newcastle upon Tyne. It is claimed that he taught himself to paint by copying works by Thomas Miles Richardson and David Cox, amongst others. He later taught art at Newcastle and was an active member of the city’s Bewick Club. According to Marshall Hall, he restricted his exhibiting activities almost exclusively to the north east.
