Historic England is to honour a Jewish painter as a 20th century LGBTQ icon.
Hannah Gluckstein is among 15 influential figures to be recognise by the heritage organisation in an initiative timed to mark 50 years since homosexuality was decriminalised.
Born in 1895, she was the only daughter of Joseph Gluckstein, one of the founders of the British restaurant chain J Lyons and Co.
In 1915, shortly after a painting trip to Cornwall, she cut her hair and began wearing men’s clothing - from then on she insisted on being known only as Gluck.
