Old Mytton Hall and Little Mytton Church. is a 1858 by Haden, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a quiet countryside scene with two main buildings: a large house with a steep roof and a tall church tower next to it. The artist used quick, light lines to draw trees, bushes, and a winding path leading up to the house. Everything is in pencil, with no color—just shades of gray and white. The drawing looks rushed, like the artist was quickly capturing the scene from memory or a quick visit. The handwriting at the bottom names the places: *Old Mytton Hall* and *Little Mytton Church*.

This 19th-century British artist made detailed pencil drawings of British towns and buildings.
