Re painter David Davies; "In 1906 the Davies family moved to live in Conway, North Wales, where he travelled to many locations to paint in England and Wales, often with his friend and fellow artist RICHARD HEYWORTH (1862-1942)." Elsewhere re Davies; "He left Dieppe from time to time to paint with his friend and sponsor Richard Heyworth in the Cheltenham (England) area and particularly from Heyworth's studio at Sennybridge in the Brecon Beacons in Wales."

St IvesThe Cheltenham Connection.; "An exhibition between 20th May and 15th July 2006 at Cheltenham Art Gallery & Museum looks back to two ground-breaking exhibitions of St Ives art, which Cheltenham Art Gallery hosted in 1925 and 1936 and from which it bought works for its permanent collection.
It was then extremely rare for a Public Gallery to devote an entire exhibition to the works of one colony and, in fact, the 1925 Exhibition was the first ever Exhibition devoted solely to St Ives artists. Previously, on the rare occasions that the St Ives fraternity had exhibited outside Cornwall, they had always been joined by their Newlyn and Falmouth colleagues.
There are three St Ives artists who had Cheltenham connections at that time - Moffat Lindner, then the most senior and respected artist in St Ives, who had a brother who lived in Cheltenham, Fred Milner, a landscape artist, who had lived in Cheltenham before settling in St Ives and Richard Heyworth, who had studied in Cornwall but who then lived in Charlton Kings.
The exhibition contained a number of large and significantly priced works - for example, Heyworth’s Teignmouth, which now hangs in Cheltenham Town Hall - and boasted an impressive and detailed catalogue."

Lots more references to him as an artist.
