William Gilbert Grace MRCS LRCP (18 July 1848 - 23 October 1915) was an English amateur cricketer who was important in the development of the sport and is widely considered one of its greatest players. He played first-class cricket for a record-equalling 44 seasons, from 1865 to 1908, during which he captained England, Gloucestershire, the Gentlemen, Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), the United South of England Eleven (USEE) and several other teams. Right-handed as both batsman and bowler, Grace dominated the sport during his career. His technical innovations and enormous influence left a lasting legacy. An outstanding all-rounder, he excelled at all the essential skills of batting, bowling and fielding, but it is for his batting that he is most renowned. He is held to have invented modern batsmanship. Usually opening the innings, he was particularly admired for his mastery of all strokes, and his level of expertise was said by contemporary reviewers to be unique. He generally captained the teams he played for at all levels because of his skill and tactical acumen. Grace came from a cricketing family: E. M. Grace was one of his elder brothers and Fred Grace his younger brother. In 1880, they were members of the same England team, the first time three brothers played together in Test cricket. Grace took part in other sports also: he was a champion 440-yard hurdler as a young man and played football for the Wanderers. In later life, he developed enthusiasm for golf, lawn bowls and curling. He qualified as a medical practitioner in 1879. He was nominally amateur as a cricketer, but he is said to have made more money from his cricketing activities than any professional cricketer. He was an extremely competitive player and, although he was one of the most famous men in England, he was also one of the most controversial on account of his gamesmanship and moneymaking. -wikipedia
Archibald John Stuart-Wortley (27 May 1849 - 11 October 1905), was a British painter and illustrator. Stuart-Wortley was the eldest son of the Hon. James Stuart-Wortley, youngest son of James Stuart-Wortley, 1st Baron Wharncliffe. His mother was the Hon. Jane Stuart-Wortley, daughter of Paul Thompson, 1st Baron Wenlock, while Lord Stuart of Wortley was his brother. Primarily a portrait painter, in 1878 he commissioned the Arts and Crafts architect Edward William Godwin to design a house and studio for him in Chelsea, a fashionable area for artists at the time. Chelsea Lodge, as it was called, was located on Tite Street at the corner of Dilke Street and had two sets of principal rooms and studios enabling Stuart-Wortley to share it with Carlo Pellegrini, the well-known caricaturist. The arrangement does not seem to have worked out and he sold the house the following year. Stuart-Wortley then had another house built for him, Canwell House at no. 29 Tite Street, where he lived until 1885. By 1881 the actress Nelly Bromley had moved in with him and the couple married in 1884, with Stuart-Wortley acting as father to her four children. -wikipedia
