Named after Dame Laura Knight – Impressionist painter
Best known for her coastal scenes and later her circus paintings, during World War II Knight served as an official war artist and travelled to Nuremberg in 1946 to record the War Criminals' Trial. Knight was made a Dame in 1929 for her services to art and in 1936 she became the first woman to be elected to the Royal Academy.
