Sculptor. Born John Adams in Acton and later added the (now) suburb's name to his, not because of pride in his place of birth but to differentiate himself from other artists of the same name. Did much work for the Methodists, in particular the Wesley memorial in Westminster Abbey. Died at his wife's home on the Isle of Arran which he visited every summer.
