More about this scene

We are in the main part of the Hartings, nestling in the northern slopes of the Downs, on the pilgrims' route to Chichester. The church of St Mary and St Gabriel has a shingled broach-spire on a central tower. The Caryl Chapel was desecrated by the Royalists in 1643 and later by the Parliamentarians, and left in ruins. A variety of houses of all shapes and sizes are seen in the foreground. Anthony Trollope, the Victorian novelist, lived in the village for many years and is buried here.
