Description: This charming vintage watercolour by British artist Jack Grunwell captures a picturesque riverside view of the Chequers Inn in Henham, a historic village in Essex, England. The inn, adorned with bunting and floral displays, sits beside a quiet riverbank where a small sailing boat rests in the foreground. Figures on horseback and a couple strolling near the shore bring the composition to life, offering a nostalgic glimpse into English village life. Henham is a quaint village steeped in history, known for its thatched cottages, open green spaces, and strong community spirit.

Ideal for collectors of British landscape art, pub heritage, or vintage riverbank scenes, this piece evokes the charm and slower pace of life in mid-century England.
