Today would have been Lilian Leahy's birthday: she was born on this day in 1909 in Holborn. Here's her painting of "Church at Cranham" from 1934 along with a photo of the scene from her husband to be, Elwin Hawthorne's archives. #LilianLeahy #botd #EastLondonGroup #Cranham

This is "The Church at Cranham" by Lilian Leahy from 1934. Lilian married Elwin Hawthorne in 1937 & usually exhibited one or two paintings each year throughout their eight year exhibiting career. #LilianLeahy #EastLondonGroup

This is "Farm near Lewes" by Lilian Leahy which is undated but I believe that it dates from 1933/34. The actual location was Southerham Farm, south of Lewes, just off the A27. The large buildings on the horizon to the left were part of the Lewes Portland Cement Company Ltd. #LilianLeahy #Lewes

This is "Church Farm, Litlington" by Lilian Leahy from c.1933/34. She & her husband to be, Elwin Hawthorne, painted extensively in this area of Sussex in 1933 & 1934 so it is reasonable to expect that this oil was produced during that period. #LilianLeahy #Litlington #Sussex #EastLondonGroup

Thank you, Pen @penthompsoncbe.bsky.social as always. I'm not sure about "back to the future" but here's a post-war re-working of "Church at Cranham" by Lilian Hawthorn (nee Leahy) along with her original painting, with the same title, from 1934. #LilianLeahy #Cranham #Essex
