Painters of Wallingford - Introduction

Introduction

During the Victoria period, Wallingford (Oxfordshire UK) was home to a number of painters who rose to national prominence in their won time, and who are becoming better known to the modern audience. Many of these painters sprung from two families: the Leslie family of Riverside house; and the Hayllar family of Castle Priory, Wallingford.

George Dunlop Leslie (1835-1921) was the son of Charles Robert Leslie. He had a brother, Robert Leslie, and produced a son, Peter Leslie.

James Hayllar (1829-1920) had five daughters and four sons. Four of his daughters went on to become artists in their own right. These were Jessica Hayllar, Edith Hayllar, Mary Hayllar and Kate Hayllar.
