William Nicholson was the third generation of his family to live in Newark. His grandfather Benjamin, and his father William Newzam, were Mayors of Newark.
He received his early artistic training from the age of twelve, from William Harold Cubley.
The Town Council's Museum has a very fine collection of Nicholson's oil paintings and lithographs on permanent display.
