About the Artist

Herbert Royle 1870-1958

Born near Manchester, the son of a newspaper shop owner, Royle received training at the Harris institute in Preston and was strongly influenced by John Buxton Knight from whom he also took lessons. He moved to Bolton Abbey in 1918 then from 1924 to Nesfield near Ilkley. Most of his works are rural views of Wharfedale, together with others of the Scottish Highlands. His work is held by many municipal and private collections and remain highly sought.
