Life
Bamford was born in Romford in 1857. He studied at the private Heatherley School of Art. He was a prolific artist who donated a large quantity of paintings into public ownership on condition that they were displayed. In 1930 when he moved to Cheshire he gave 150 paintings to Romford. Bamford had been a member of a local voluntary regiment. By 1897 he was an honorary Major. During World War I he was in charge of some prisoners near Chelmsford. Bamford has a small number of paintings in important public collections.
