Mary Leighton, née Parker, 1799–1864 was an artist known for her depictions of prominent Grand Tour sites, satirical treatments of contemporary fashions, and thoughtful portraits of friends and family. She was close friends with the Ladies of Llangollen. Notably, the only portrait from life of the Ladies of Llangollen is by Mary’s hand. She married Baldwin Leighton in 1832 and had six children, who Mary actively encouraged in drawing and painting. Frances Christina Leighton was Mary's eldest daughter, and was also an artist and antiquarian. She edited or otherwise aided in the publication of many registers and local histories of Shropshire and Worcestershire, including the Kyre Park Chapters (Athens and Lapka, 2013).
