Painted in the Autumn as there is Virginia Creep growing up the wall there are some initials in the right hand corner. What age was the Grandmother so we know of the age of roughly it could have been a newly built house when the grandmother had possession of it. Where do you think this stone is from Dorset Stone or could it be the Cotswold’s stone? Where did the Grandmother live? The painting has age stains on the painting. The House hardly looks lived in. |

Which is in Somerset. If anyone knows how to find this address with a picture then it could be where my grandmother lived. |

I think the painting may be based on Oakwell Hall, West Yorkshire. You will find info on this house by googling Oakwell Hall. Edit: Sorry Lisa (and Cathy) but looking around I think the name might be James Lawson Stewart? Here is a pic of Oakwell Hall - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:DSC02388_800x600.jpg Edited by: Toby Craig at:9th March 2011 14:07 |

The power of POE members strikes again! lol There is a lovely description of it here: http://www.touruk.co.uk/houses/houseyorkshire_oakwell.htm It is a Manor House probably built in 1583 and stands in Nutter Lane, Birstall, West Yorkshire. It is suggested that "Fieldfare" was based on this house in Charlotte Bronte's novel Shirley. |

My grandmother was actually given this picture by her neighbour's children who were clearing their mother's house out after her death. So I really couldn't give you any more information. Thank you so much! I'm now going to look up Oakwell Hall and James Stewart Lawson.

If you do go to "Add your pictures" (top left hand column) and follow the instructions, selecting either the town or county. Once the picture has been approved and shows up under "Latest pictures" you will be able to add it to this thread. Note the ID number of your picture then come back to this thread and "post" space - then click on the "green tree icon" in the toolbar below and enter the ID number. You should see your picture appear in the space, then just click insert. |
