Dr William Crotch Art
1775-1847
Dr. William Crotch was born on July 5, 1775, Norwich. He was a composer and organist and he showed early musical talent as a child prodigy. He was most famous for probably being the composer of the Westminster Chimes played by Big Ben each time it strikes the hour. In 1797, he became Heather Professor of Music at Oxford University and acquired a doctorate in music in 1799. John Malchair, the musician and artist, became a friend whilst he was in Oxford and so with his guidance Crotch took up sketching. He also took Malchair's habit of recording the date and time of his picture passing this habit to John Constable upon meeting him in London in 1805. He became the first Principal of the Royal Academy of Music, a post he held for ten years until he resigned. His works are well represented in many public and private collections. The Tate holds three of his works. He spent his last years at Taunton, Somerset, where he died on December 29, 1847.

Ronald Maddox was an accomplished and successful British artist, designer and illustrator.
He was born in Purley, Surrey and studied at St. Albans School of Art from 1945 to 1948. He then served with the Air Ministry Design Service, during which time he attended Regent Street Polytechnic in London from 1949-51, before completing his studies at the London College of Printing. His tutors included Henry Trevick, Raymond Sheppard, and Christopher Saunders.
From 1953 to 1962 Maddox worked as an art director for advertising agencies in London. He then worked as a freelance artist illustrator and graphic designer. Between 1972 and 1989 Maddox worked extensively for the Post Office and the Royal Mail, and the Isle of Man postal authority. He designed stamps, stamp book covers, first day presentation packs, posters and charts. His stamps typically feature British architecture, rural life and the countryside. He also produced posters for British Rail and painted pictures that were used as carriage panel prints, and illustrated several books.
Maddox’s talents were well recognised and respected in the professional art and design communities. He was elected a member of the Society of Industrial Artists & Designers in 1956 and of the Royal Institute in 1959, in 1989 becoming its president. He was a Fellow of the Chartered Society of Designers and a Fellow of the Society of Architectural Illustrators.
Maddox received many awards for his work as an artist and designer, including the Winsor & Newton /RI 150th Anniversary Award in 1981 and the Members’ Award in 1991. He was a Hunting Group Finalist several times and won the Design Council Award in 1973 and the Rowland Hilder Award for the Most Outstanding Landscape in 1990.
Maddox excelled at architectural work, reproducing the textures and patterns of buildings, but he is perhaps best known for his topographical art...
