About the work

The North Essex village of Tilty is best known for its Cistercian monastery; Walter Spradbery depicts one of its humbler corners here. Spradbery, a graphic artist who designed a legendary series of posters for the London Passenger Transport Board (now London Transport), was one of the first artists to sign up for the Recording Britain project. This watercolour, dating from 1937, is one of the first produced for the scheme.
