Note: Milner settled in St. Ives during the 1890s and soon became an important member of the art colony occupying one of the Piazza Studios and joining the St. Ives Arts Club.
His friend and colleague Robert Borlase Smart recorded Milner's qualities 'as an intense loyalty and faithfulness of purpose, hard work in the open air and the studio, a distinguished style of painting, a charm of friendly intercourse with other artists and interest in their work, and a broad principle of encouragement to younger painters.'
