The Rothensteins, though not an LG family, are steeped in the art
world and have many entries in the Oxford Dictionary of National
Biography. They hailed from Hildesheim in Germany and moved to England
in the mid-19th century. Sir John (1901–1992) was an art historian and
administrator and was the elder son of the artist Sir William
Rothenstein (1872–1945) and Alice Mary (1869–1955) dau of another
artist, Walter John KNEWSTUB. She had appeared on stage under the name
of Alice Kingsley. Sir John's brother was Sir (William) Michael
Francis Rothenstein (1908–1993), the printmaker and his paternal
uncles were Albert Daniel Rutherston (1881–1953), painter, and Charles
Lambert Rutherston (1866–1927), the art collector.
Sir John married his American wife, Elizabeth Kennard Whittington (b
1905) dau of Charles Judson Smith of Kentucky, whilst living in the
United States but returned to England before the birth of their only
child, Lucy, in 1934.

Richard Rhys, who became the 9th Baron Dynevor in 1962, was a patron
of the arts and he made a considerable contribution to cultural life,
especially in Wales. A friend of his, the Welsh writer Emyr Humphreys,
described him as “a left-over from another age of intellectual
patronage. He was quite uncommercial.”

Richard Charles Uryan Rhys was born in 1935 and educated at Eton and
Magdalene College, Cambridge, where he studied English. He left
without taking a degree because he wanted to be an actor. He went to
Dublin where a cousin, Edward Longford, was running the Gate Theatre.
There he was given small parts.

The Dynevor barony was created for the 1st and last Earl Talbot a
scion of the Shrewsbury earls, who died without male issue. Under a
special remainder in the barony, his daughter Lady Cecil Talbot, who
married the Rt Hon George Rice (Rhys) inherited the title with
remainder to her heirs male.
