He was already a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order. Herkomer was also a pioneering filmmaker. He established a studio at Lululaund and directed some seven historical costume dramas designed to be shown accompanied by his own music. None of them is known to have survived. Herkomer had strong connections with Wales. His second wife hailed from Ruthin, and he spent long periods in Snowdonia painting with his friend, Charles Mansel Lewis from Stradey Castle, Llanelli. In 1899, Herkomer designed the Grand Sword of the Gorsedd of Bards, and he also designed some of its other regalia. Personal life In 1873, at Watford, Herkomer married Anna Caroline Weise. A son, Siegfried Hubert, was born in 1875 and a daughter, Elsa Anna, the next year. In 1884, following the death of his first wife, Herkomer married Eliza Lulu Griffiths, aged 35, at Ruthin. She died a year later in child-birth. He married a third wife, Maggie, also from Ruthin. In 1888, Herkomer‘s father, Lorenz Herkomer, died at Watford aged 73. The next year, Herkomer’s third wife gave birth to a son who was named Lorenz. Death and legacy Herkomer died at Budleigh Salterton on 31 March 1914 and was buried in St James's church, Bushey. Paintings by Herkomer are in several British collections, including the Manchester Art Gallery, Southampton City Art Gallery, Leeds Art Gallery, Lady Lever Art Gallery, Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, Oldham, Derby Art Gallery and the City of London. The largest collection of his work is held by Bushey Museum, and some are in the Herkomer Museum, Landsberg am Lech, Germany. Among his pupils at The Herkomer School of Art, in Bushey were many who later became notable in their own right including, the artists Cecil Jay and Beryl Fowler.
