Popis: Claude Rimington was born in London on 17 November 1902, the youngest of the three children of George Gathwaite Rimington, formerly of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and Matilda Isabel, née Klyne. When he was three years old the family moved to rural Hertfordshire where Claude grew up. The Rimingtons came originally from a hamlet of that name lying on the borders of Yorkshire and Lancashire. They were a large family, including in their number academics and churchmen, one ancestor being William de Rimington who was Chancellor of Oxford University in 1372. Claude’s father was a businessman with an interest in light engineering, and his mother was both artistically and academically inclined.
