His wife, Jessy Storr, was the granddaughter of the silversmith, Paul Storr. Their daughter, Helen, married a local builder and estate agent, Harry Whistler, and together they had four children, Jessy, Denis (who died young) Rex and Laurence.Rex Whistler (1905 – 1944) was a precocious draftsman who trained at The Slade, well-known for his murals and society portraits, he was a diverse and popular artist of the interwar years in England, creating theatre designs, illustrations and comic advertisements playing on his wit and humour. His patrons included Edith Sitwell, Cecil Beaton and Edwina Mountbatten. He designed entire rooms full of murals as well as creating architectural improvements and book illustrations. He was killed on the battlefield in Normandy on his first day in action in 1944. The Times received more letters about Rex than about any other victim of that War.Laurence Whistler (1912 - 2000) was devoted to Rex, who taught him much about drawing and architecture. They shared a passion for neo-classical buildings. Having intended to be an architect, Laurence became instead a celebrated glass-engraver, architectural historian, biographer, poet and designer. He was knighted for services to the Arts shortly before his death.Salisbury played a special part in both Rex and Laurence’s lives. Before the war, Rex took lease of the Walton Canonry in the Cathedral Close as a peaceful home for his elderly parents, hoping to join them in a few years. From there, Laurence married the actress, Jill Furse, in the Cathedral just after war was declared in 1939. Salisbury Cathedral’s spire appears in a number of Laurence’s engraved works, including the glass prism in the Cathedral that acknowledges his lifelong debt to his much-loved elder brother.Salisbury Museum is currently hosting the exhibition: Rex Whistler: The Artist and His Patrons (27th May – 29th September 2024) and this watch will be included in the exhibition until 5th July 2024.
