Milly Childers

Her father's social and political connections brought his daughter some commissioned work, including as a restorer and copyist for Lord Halifax at Temple Newsam.

[5] Childers exhibited her work at the Palace of Fine Arts at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois.

Featuring all men in Edwardian dress, it captures a time when women were barred from holding office or voting.

Others of her better-known works are Children Playing Hoops in the Street, Arromanches and The Pannier market, Barnstaple.

Childers was the last artist to paint the interior of the original Reims Cathedral, which was destroyed in 1914 during the First World War.
