ButtleHay House
A watercolour by Thomas Pole MD of Buttlehay or Battlehay (as it was later known).

Thomas Pole painted at least two watercolours of the house above, at first glance almost identical.   However, there are differences between the windows and doors in the building on the left, and the position of the chimney in the middle of the main roof, that suggest that at least one of the sketches was done from memory.   The picture here is roughly the size of the original, and the colour reproduction very slightly biased towards green.
