William de Belleroche was the self-appointed champion of Brangwyn, responsible for the establishment of the Brangwyn museum in Bruges (1936) and the major retrospective at the Royal Academy (1952). He commissioned Brangwyn to produce drawings to illustrate the two biographies he wrote about Brangwyn (Brangwyn Talks, 1944, and Brangwyn’s Pilgrimage, 1948).
