Legacy
Several works of art show the image of Martha Gunn. The image on this page is titled "Martha Gunn and the Prince Of Wales". Whilst the exact date of the painting is unknown it is unlikely to actually show the Prince of Wales as he didn't visit Brighton until he was twenty one and Martha Gunn herself is not thought to have ever left Brighton. The original of this painting now hangs in the tea-room of the Royal Pavilion.
Her image is on several contemporary engravings and cartoons and a toby jug was made of her in 1840.
There is a pub in Upper Lewes Road, Brighton called the Martha Gunn and she has a bus named after her.
