Thomas Osborne Robinson OBE (1904-1976) was a theatrical designer based in Northampton. He was inspired to become a scenery and costume designer when in 1921 (aged 17) he saw Diaghilev's Russian ballet 'The Sleeping Princess', with scenery and costumes by Leon Bakst.

T. L. Shoosmith
Report
Thurston Laidlaw Shoosmith (1865-1933) was born in Northampton. He was educated at Northampton Grammar School before joining the firm of solicitors which his father had established in the town (still practising as Shoosmiths). He became a partner in the firm in 1897. While he was not a professional artist - in the sense that he did not need to sell his paintings to make a living - he was a leading figure in the artistic life of Northampton.
