Title: Historic Miniature Watercolor of Kingswood Castle Nestled Amongst Trees
by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist
Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed
Measurements: 3 inches (height) x 3.5 inches (width)
Condition: Very good and highly presentable
Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work in Bristol, England.
Description:
This evocative watercolour by Jack Grunwell depicts the overgrown ruins of Kingswood Castle, nestled among trees and bathed in soft natural light. Rendered in earthy tones and subtle washes, the composition captures the imposing stonework and romantic decay of the former fortress, partially obscured by encroaching greenery.
While no full medieval castle stands in Kingswood, near Bristol, there are local references to a Kingswood Lodge or Kingswood Castle, possibly connected to the Royal hunting forest of Kingswood, a region historically associated with royal land use and later with industrial expansion. Grunwell’s interpretation feels both poetic and historical, inviting curiosity and reflection on lost architecture and shifting landscapes.
Ideal for collectors of architectural ruins, Bristol area heritage, or romantic English landscapes, this painting blends detail and atmosphere, capturing the mystery of a forgotten stronghold.

John Chessell Buckler (1793 - 1894)
Horham Hall, Essex (1830)
Watercolour
25 x 34 cm
Signed and dated lower right; titled below.
Horham Hall was built in Thaxted, Essex by Sir John Cutte in the early sixteenth century. The original hall was a timber-framed moated manor house built circa 1470, but it was largely demolished by Cutte, who built the present house between 1510 and 1515. Cutte was under-treasurer in the households of Henry VII and Henry VIII. The mansion was built in brick in two storeys in a quadrilateral layout with a gatehouse and incorporated some elements of the former building.
The house was visited three times by Elizabeth I as the guest of Sir John Cutte. It is believed that the Tower was built for her to watch the local hunt. It was while staying at Horham in 1578 that the Queen received the envoy of the Duke of Alençon proposing marriage.
John Chessell Buckler was a British architect, the eldest son of the architect John Buckler. His work included restorations of country houses and at the University of Oxford.
Buckler received art lessons from the painter Francis Nicholson...
