I have temporarily forgotten the name of this (former) farm; it's most well-known from a photograph by James Ravilious.

Eric Ravilious (1903-1942).
Watercolour and pencil on paper, c1940.
Eric Ravilious described this painting in a letter to fellow artist Diana Tuely, "...a capital rowing boat by G Renier of Guernsey, bright red and banana yellow... It was so irresistible I made a tolerably good drawing of it, with some shelling going on at sea.
The London born and Sussex-bred artist Eric Ravilious was a multi-talented printmaker, wood engraver and watercolour painter. He started life in Acton in West London but grew up in Eastbourne where he discovered his love of painting, design and printing. He went on to win a scholarship to the Royal College of Art. He studied in the Design School of the College where Ravilious befriended fellow artist and tutor Paul Nash. He also became friends, and collaborator with print-maker Edward Bawden.
He married fellow artist Tirzah Garwood who was a talented printmaker in her own right in 1930 and together they befriended Sussex-based artist Peggy Angus. She owned a farmhouse called Furlongs nestled against the Downs near Firle not far from Lewes and Brighton and it was on visits to her home that Eric began his lifelong love affair with the South Downs. The Downland landscapes of Sussex featured widely in Eric's watercolour paintings and prints for years to com.
Appointed Official War Artist in 1940, Eric's watercolours took a new direction. He began to use his talents and distinctive style to document coastal defences in locations such as Newhaven in Sussex, aeroplanes, warships and submarines. Indeed, it was in his role as War Artist that Eric lost his life aged only 39. He had been dispatched on a plane to look for a lost aircraft but sadly, never returned.

Sheffield is a city that owes its existence to water. Its rivers and streams provided the power that forged the ‘City of Steel’, but they also wrought devastation through the 1832 Cholera Epidemic and the Great Flood of 1864.
From Sky to Sea brought together painting, photography and works on paper to explore artists’ enduring fascination with water and our relationship to it. The displays took visitors on a journey that follows the water cycle – from the rain and snow atop the highest peaks, along the rivers that flow through our towns, cities and countryside, and finally to the sea.
