The landscape painter, William Hartley Waddington (1883-1961), was born in Bradford, to parents, George Hartley, a wool merchant, and mother, Ruth. The family lived in the then affluent Manningham district of the city and were committed members of the local Wesleyan Methodist chapel.
William studied art at the Slade School of Art, under the tutelage of Philip Wilson Steer and Henry Tonks, and in 1908 won the Slade Portrait Prize. He also exhibited work at the Royal Academy whilst still a student at the Slade.
After completing his art course he moved to the Lake District and by 1911 was resident at Ambleside, painting watercolour and oil landscape scenes of the region. In 1914 William married Muriel Marlor of Giggleswick and the couple became tenants of the author Beatrix Potter in Castle Cottage at Sawrey, where an outbuilding was provided for William’s use as a studio. In the same year, 1914, William was appointed as art teacher at the Charlotte Mason College in Ambleside, a post he held for 17 years.
William became a member of the Friends of the Lake District and a member of the Lake Artists Society, and was the Society’s President, 1949-60.
