This watercolour shows a church in Stanmer Park, Sussex. It’s painted by John Martin in 1834. Martin often chose dramatic subjects for his landscapes. The church in the painting is older. It survived until 1838 when the Earl ordered a rebuild. That date matches the painting’s year, so it shows the original building. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
