Constable or Wainwright?
Where is this?
The painting is called 'Cottage in a Cornfield'. It's in the Manchester Art Gallery. In 2006, the Tate Gallery said that it wasn't by John Constable. So who painted it?
Discussion on the web suggests that the location might be Starcross. UK Art Detective on the web
and that the painter was Thomas Francis Wainewright.
Perhaps we could help by verifying the location. The only church near to Starcross with a plain tower is St Clement's Church at Powderham
The tower on All Saints, Kenton, has pinacles on each corner
Neither St Mary's Cofton
nor St Paul's Starcross has a tower
If you can help the Art Detectives in their quest to discover the painter and the location, please comment below
Thankyou
