Artwork description:

Shere is a beautiful, quintessential English village located between the towns of Guildford and Dorking. The village offers visitors charming buildings, a stream with ducks, a small museum, a tearoom, two pubs, The White Horse and The William Bray as well as St James Church a 12th century church. There are also some fantastic examples of Lutyens architecture here, too - quite romantic really.

Surrounded by stunning scenery, in the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to popular scenic sites Newlands Corner and the Silent Pool, the quaint picturesque village of Shere is popular with walkers as well as being a favourite location for filmmakers with scenes in ‘Bridget Jones, The Edge of Reason’, Powell & Pressburger’s ‘A Matter of Life and Death’, ‘The Holiday’ and, more recently, the TV adaptation of Agatha Christie’s ‘Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?’ being filmed here.

The Church of St James appeared in the Domesday Book. It contains a tiny, enclosed cell in which Christine Carpenter, an anchoress (religious recluse) lived. Her only contact with the outside world was through a grid and an aperture through which food was passed.

It is clear to see why Shere has been used as a location for many films.

DELIVERY INFORMATION
In order to avoid trips to the Post Office, I shall be arranging for delivery to be via courier (not Hermes!) and shipping charges will reflect this. As prices will vary depending on the purchaser's location, if the actual shipping price is less than that charged, I will refund the difference. Please note that the frame is heavy so shipping costs will be a consideration. I am happy to arrange collection.

IMPORTANT - Rather sadly I've decided that, following Brexit, I can no longer sell my artwork to purchasers in the EU. The customs/VAT regulations are an absolute nightmare and I don't want to risk purchasers having to fork out a lot of unforeseen extra money when taking delivery, and even if I agree to pay Customs and VAT upfront before sending out, the red tape involved just looks horrendous.

I will still be selling to customers outside the EU as there's been no changes there so everything remains the same. My apologies, all I can say is that I voted to remain.

For international buyers please note that import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the price of this artwork or shipping costs. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.
