W. G. Collingwood

William Gershom Collingwood was an author, artist, antiquary and was also Professor of Fine Arts at the Reading University. For many years he worked as Ruskin's secretary, travelled with him on foreign tours, and promoted his local causes such as the setting up of Arts and Crafts Guilds. He edited a number of Ruskin's texts and published a biography of Ruskin in 1893 as well as a series of fiction books and historical texts. Collingwoods, his wife Edith and their children, Dora (later Mrs Ernest Altounyan), Barbara (later Mrs Oscar Gnosspelius), Ursula, and Robin (the later historian and philosopher) were friends with Arthur Ransome. It was a summer of teaching Collingwood's grandchildren to sail in 1928 that inspired Ransome to write Swallows and Amazons. He based the Swallows on Dora's four children (the Altounyans). Collingwood was also a skilled painter, President of the Lake Artist Society and an active member the Cumberland and Westmorland Antiquarian and Archaeological Society.
