Plein air painting 89

This old church is quite unusual in that the clock on the tower only has one (hour) hand. When St Nicolas’ Church in Stoneham was built c1500s, minute hands were not considered necessary. There may have been a church of some description as early as the 800s. The building as it stands would have been altered and added to over the centuries and suffered some damage during WWII. It is grade II listed.
Painted on cardboard sized at 12" x 9.5" in oils, during early November 2022.

A second, smaller oil painting was done on the same day of the doorway on the other side of the building. The artwork measures 8" x7".
