Landscape painter, William Hartley Waddington (1883-1961), was born in Bradford. He studied art at the Slade School, 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 watercolours 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.
In addition to landscapes of the Lake District, Waddington also painted landscapes of Wales, Scotland, and many regions of England, including Dorset, the Cotswolds, and the Yorkshire Dales. Whilst landscapes were his main subject, he also enjoyed painting coastal and rural genre scenes, and portraits.
