General Notes: Attended school at Feilding, Huntley School in Marton, Wellington College & Victoria University, he went on to become a lawyer, artist and Philanthropist. At University he received three Turnbull Scholarships, graduating with a Bachelor of Law degree in 1912.

However he showed an early bent for painting both in watercolours and in oils, and in 1913 this interest took him on the first of his several tours to Great Britain and Europe. His works have been exhibited widely in Britain and are also held by museums and libraries in this country.

Cranleigh returned to NZ just before the outbreak of WW1 and practised as a solicitor in Wellington until 1918 when he moved to Christchurch.

In 1924 he studied law at the Slade School in London, staying there for four years. By 1930 he had returned to Christchurch, and that year he gave up legal work to devote himself to his painting, travels and correspondence. He visited many countries around the world including Italy, Greece, North Africa, France, India, Russia, Persia, mainland China, Samoa & Fiji.

Paintings of his were bought by Queen Mary & Dame Nellie Melba.

He was also interested in historical buildings and was co-patron of the Wanganui Historical Society.

He left a legacy - The Cranleigh Barton Drawing Award - to recognise excellence in drawing and to raise the status of this skill in visual arts, education and practice, $2,000 is to be awarded.

He is very community minded - he donated a magnificent stained glass window and weather vane to the All Saints Church in Sumner, a drinking fountain near the Sumner beach, and an illuminated clock which is mounted above the Sumner Surf Life Saving Club pavilion. He also gave a generous donation towards the cost of a jet rescue boat (named after him) for the Sumner Lifeboat Institution.

He kept a diary every day since 1906, and his journals now make a vast collection.

He died in Christchurch aged 84. He was cremated and his ashes were buried in Aramoho Cemetery, Wanganui (with his parents) on 15 May 1975.

Medley was closely associated with the development of the petroleum industry before the Great War, and again prior to his death. He was interested in the Ngamotu Seaside Resorts Company, which was responsible for popularizing Ngamotu Beach. Add: Obit.
An all round sportsman, he was an athlete, football player, cricketer, golfer and bowler. In his younger days, in Wellington, he took a prominent part in athletic sports of various kinds. He was a member of the Wellington Athletic Football Club and represented the province at Rugby. He was also a boxer, and an active member of the Star Boating Club.In New Plymouth, he was a keen golfer, as first a member of the old Witiora club, then of the Ngamotu club.

Daughter, Jean Mary Medley Phillips: "Dad trained at Edinburgh College, but he left. He lived in Wellington and trained as a bush man for a time, he was a big, large, strong man and often went out bush on his own. He was an entrepreneur with his fingers in all sorts of pies. He was before his time and the first of his kind in many of his endeavours, being interested in perpetual forests and petroleum and other things. He was a great speculator buying and selling land, and the family had a cottage on Ngamotu Beach. In those days they had flat bottom boats and in summer, Ngamotu Beach was always full of people. He was 15 stone, always wore tweeds, a cap and had a pipe, and this one day he brought a boat. Jack jumped out of the boat and tried to hold it while Dad was left in it sinking in the water with everyone on the beach looking on and laughing. He got out of the boat, pulled his cap over his head, and walked straight back up the beach not looking right or left. There was a write-up in the paper about it.
During WWI he carried cans of petrol and buried them out the back of the garden, but he hurt his back doing this.
He was the Head of Company of the government births, deaths and marriages business that he built up, President of Pukekura Park, the Boys and Girls High School and the Athletic Club. The caricature in his office said "I stand for a progressive corporation."
He had a terrific, odd sense of humour. He used to say "I'll say Grace, for God's sake let's start!" Aunt Adela lived in Upland Road, and as Dad had trained at Cambridge [he was born in Winchester and Adela at Auckland] he used to say to her 'You're just a colonial!'." JMMP Interview 23 Nov 2007.
The family residence they built was at 23 Wallace Place, New Plymouth, which after May's death was sold, and became the New Plymouth Bridge Club.
