Watercolour. 7¼ by 5¼ in.
The Palace cannot be seen; in the distance is Westminster Bridge.
The Gate-house, of red brick, with stone archway and quoins,
was built in the time of Archbishop Morton who died in 1500. The
fifteenth-century church of St. Mary, Lambeth, after being often
altered and repaired, was almost entirely rebuilt in 1850-52.
John Varley, born in 1778, exhibited at the Royal Academy and in 1804
became a foundation member of the Old Watercolour Society. Many of
his earlier subjects are taken from the banks of the Thames.
By J. VARLEY (1778-1842).
