Knightwick Manor is a 25 watercolor by William Grimmond, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a quiet scene of a large house in the distance, surrounded by tall trees with yellow-green leaves. The trees are in the foreground, their trunks thin and branches spreading out. The grass below is a mix of green and brown, with a few scattered leaves on the ground. The artist signed the bottom right corner with the date and title, *Knightwick Manor, Sep 25 1940*. The colors are soft and muted, giving the scene a calm, peaceful feel. Next, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more works like this.

The project aimed to document aspects of British life and landscape perceived as threatened by wartime conditions or modernization. The work is held in the Recording Britain collection, which includes over 1,500 topographical images by 97 artists.
