  1. Harcourt Doyle (1913 – 2001)

    Harcourt was a student at the Liverpool City School of Art and Crafts, a historic predecessor to the current Liverpool School of Art and Design. He became a highly respected stained glass window artist and thanks to diligent record keeping from his family, many of his original window designs, alongside prints and personal letters from his time at the School of Art now tell both his personal story and the institutional history of the university that we know today. The records are held within LJMU’s Special Collections and Archives.

  2. Irene Mabel Marsh 1875 - 1938

    One of our pioneers, she started a revolution in physical education with a ground-breaking curriculum that still lives on at LJMU today.

  3. Norman Thelwell (1923-2004)

    Norman is considered to be the most popular cartoonist in Britian since the Second World War and some regard him as the unofficial artist of the British countryside. As a graduate of the Liverpool College of Art, the forerunner to today’s Liverpool School of Art and Design, it was here that he undertook a course in illustration, one of the many ex-servicemen and women who joined the school after the war.

    Fanny Louisa Calder was a pioneer of domestic science and famously called the 'saint of laundry, cooking and health' by Florence Nightingale.
