More about this scene

We are looking south to King Hall. This peaceful village to the south of Marlborough is one long street retaining many old cottages. To the left is The Old Bakery, an 18th- century brick house, which then had a newly thatched roof. The grand house at the top is King Hall, dating from the early 19th century. It is said to have been built on the site of a house belonging to the King's tax gatherer, hence its present name. Note the cobbled paving on the extreme left.
