Richard Hume Lancaster, amateur landscape painter, was an honorary exhibitor at the Royal Academy between 1800 and 1827. He became rector at Warnford in Hampshire in 1802 and remained in this position until his death. His son, Hume Lancaster (c.1814-1850), became a marine painter but died in poverty at the age of 36, predeceasing his father. Today, works by Richard Hume Lancaster are held in the Tate Collection.
