Turner does Towneley, fancies cows

Well, bless his cotton socks! JMW Turner’s been round our Burnley and done a fine painting of Towneley Hall. You can tell because it’s called “Towneley Hall”. It does look quite a bit like it too. Apparently England’s biggest Romantic took a shine to Lancashire’s biggest spook house and whipped up this watercolour in 1798. Lovely. Not one of his best by a long shot, but lovely. Look at that pair of rustics goofing off under the tree, And the cows. See the rest.
