[1483] St Peter, Clayworth : Traquair Murals
St Peter, Clayworth, Nottinghamshire.
Phoebe Anna Traquair (1852-1936).
These murals were commissioned by Lady D'Arcy Godolphin Osborne to celebrate the safe return from the Boer War of her son, Captain Joseph Frederick Laycock. They were painted in 1905.
Traquair's murals, easel paintings, embroideries, book illustrations and jewellery brought her international recognition, as one of the most accomplished artists of the Arts and Crafts movement. She was originally from Dublin but moved to Edinburgh after her marriage to Dr Ramsay Traquair, Keeper of Natural History at the Royal Scottish Museum. She played a significant and practical role in the promotion of decorative art in public buildings, for example, through her murals in the Sick Children's Hospital. In 1920 Traquair became the first woman member of the Royal Scottish Academy.
