Kenneth Rowntree painted a watercolour of SS Peter and Paul church in Little Saling, Essex around 1942. His narrow view matches the church’s tall, round tower from the fourteenth century. He left the crumbling plaster and overgrown yard just as he saw them, no fixes. The church was one of his favorite subjects for a wartime recording project called Recording Britain. It’s his only exterior painting in the series. Check out more work by Rowntree, Kenneth.
