John Henry Martin was born in Camberwell, London. He established his reputation as an artist in Newlyn but moved to Plymouth in 1883 as the Newlyn School became established. He settled in Old Ferry Road, Saltash in 1897 where he painted a number of local scenes depicting the old Saltash Waterside buildings, later destroyed by war and post war redevelopment. Some of his works are held by the town council. He is buried in St. Stephens churchyard.
