I have revamped the Wikipedia entry on Thomas Wingham (once a bright hope of English music), expanded the biography, added contemporary reviews and an obituary notice and provided further detail about his works

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Wingham

Well, with time on your hands what would you rather be doing than a bit of arcane research, lol...

The only photograph of Wingham which I can locate at present is at the National Portrait Gallery, London, as part of a composite bromide print by and after Elliott & Fry:

Wingham is image number 664. Incidentally, the same print shows other composers including Henry Gadsby (number 685) and a very-young-looking Frederic Cowen (number 681)...

As the snow falls thickly outside, I am happy to report that I have located a fair amount of autograph manuscript material for several of Wingham's orchestral works lurking in the Library of the Royal Academy of Music and have amended the Wikipedia entry accordingly:

The autograph manuscript full score of Concert Overture No. 4 (XX(175475.1)), together with autograph manuscript parts of Symphony No.1 (XX(175469.1)), the Elegy on the death of Sterndale Bennett (XX(175471.1)), Symphony in D, Op.4 (XX(175472.1)), the Andante and allegro capriccioso for piano and orchestra (XX(175473.1)), Concert Overture No.4 (XX(175476.1)), Concert Overture No.6 (XX(175477.1)) and Concerto Overture No.1 (XX(175478.1)/ XX(175479.1)) are held by the Library of the Royal Academy of Music, London.
