John Dalzell Kenworthy

John Dalzell Kenworthy ARCA (5 Nov 1858 - 4 Mar 1954) was an internationally acclaimed artist, sculptor and writer who was born at Whitehaven into a prominent West Cumbrian family.

JD Kenworthy was a noted Cumberland artist, who lived at Seacroft House, St Bees, a coastal village south of Whitehaven.

He also was a keen angler, and wrote a book in 1933 called 'Fisherman's Philosophy', in which he discusses Scottish salmon and loch trout, and fishing on the French Mediterranean coast.

[3] He also painted portraits of other notable people, including the Mayor of Whitehaven,[4] Reverend Rees Keene,[5] Dr James Irving Lace,[6] Justices of the Peace James Gibson Dees[7] and Alderman Joseph Braithwaite[8] and one of the aero chocolate girls Rosina Bacharach née Grispo.

Collingwood, who had been John Ruskin's secretary drew up a design for a memorial based upon the old cross shaft in the Priory graveyard.

This memorial shows the Patron Saint of England, St George standing on top of the dragon that, according to tradition, he had conquered.
