Kenneth Rowntree painted Brent Hall from the South, Finchingfield in watercolour around 1940. The house was rebuilt after a fire in the 1600s. Edward Benlowes, a Royalist poet, once lived there. This wasn’t one of Rowntree’s usual church scenes. It’s the only secular building he painted in Essex for the Recording Britain project. Check out more of Rowntree, Kenneth next.
