Another painter, William A. Midgley, who may be the same person as above flourished in Birmingham from 1899 to 1933. His best known work 1899, oil on canvas,  54 x 35 inches is 'Non Angli, sed Angeli'  They are not Angles but Angels, which illustrates the meeting between Pope Gregory I and two Anglian child slaves from Deira (the Anglian name for what came became to be Yorvikschere or  Yorkshire under the Danes.
