No 41 Sandhill , better known as Bessie Surtees House, due to her famous elopement
from this property, is ,in fact, an amalgamation of three separate timber framed houses,
which are rare examples of the fine domestic architecture of the Stuart period. The post
and rail timber framing was so advanced for its time that it allowed windows to stretch
across the full frontage.
 
Painting size 395mm x 325mm, 2003.
