Lound was born in 1801, in the Norfolk village of Sprowston, the son of Thomas and Mary Lound. He was christened in the village church on 9 August 1801.[1]

He married Harriot Wetherill in 1821 and there were several children. An amateur water-colourist, he worked in the brewing trade for Charles Tompson & Sons and as an agent for the insurance company County Fire and Provident Life Office. He exhibited in London from 1845 to 1859, and with the Norwich Society of Artists from 1820 to 1833. He was also a keen photographer, and was a committee member of the Norwich Photographic Society.[2] Lound died suddenly of apoplexy on 18 January 1861, whilst at his Norwich house in King Street.[3]
