BiographyHistory

'George Rayner Hoff (1894-1937), sculptor and teacher, was born on 27 November 1894 at Braddan, Isle of Man, son of George Hoff, bricklayer, and his wife Elizabeth Amy, née Coole. Early training came from his father, who restored ancient buildings and was a capable woodcarver and stonemason. After the family had moved to Nottingham, Rayner worked in a mason's yard after school and entered an architect's office at 14. From 1910 he studied drawing and design at Nottingham School of Art.'
