I found a delightful pair of sketches beautifully framed 16cm x 11cm - one of the subjects was a skillfully crafted sketch of the Smith's Arms at Godmanstone - almost identically as it appears in the above photo - it was a real place. The artist signed his/her name Judges. The second sketch is of a Dorset cottage in Cerne Abbas the year earlier. These sketches are a window to a place in a time long ago.
