The image is an unknown village painted by Thomas Girtin; it was provided by Dr. Greg Smith who is the author of an online catalogue of the work of Thomas Girtin.
Greg is interested to know if anyone can help in identifying this ford and hence the village. Girtin was active in Yorkshire, the North East, the West Country and Surrey so they are the most likely places to start.
