Church and houses at Conway is a 1817 watercolor by Hugh O'Neill, a British Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolour painting shows a church and houses in Conway. The church is a large, ruined building with a tall tower. There are several smaller houses around it, some of which are also in ruins. A man is driving a horse-drawn cart through the scene. In the foreground, there are some people standing and sitting on the ground. One of them is holding a basket. There are also some animals, including a dog and a goat. The sky above is cloudy and grey. The painting is done in a romantic style, with an emphasis on the beauty of the natural world and the decay of human-made structures. It is held at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
