Guest lynn.55 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I had this water colour painting given me a few years ago. It is dated 1867 and painted by someone called VW Wanclrocht. It is called Heely near Sheffield, the residense of Mrs Mitchell nee Elizabeth Wanclrocht. Has anyone any info on the artist and painting. also is the house still standing.
