William Gershom Collingwood (1854–1932), was a dedicated follower of Ruskin, whom the author met when he went up to University College, Oxford in 1872. He was so dedicated to Ruskin that he moved to Windermere and later to Coniston to be nearer to Ruskin’s home, Brantwood on the eastern shore of Coniston Water.
