Painting, watercolour, The Old Tithe Barn, Carlisle,
Cumberland, by Thomas Bushby, 1895.
Summertime; view of the old tithe barn seen from St
Cuthbert's graveyard. Two children sit on the grass beside
an empty wheelbarrow. To far right of composition the
distant outskirts of Carlisle are seen above the perimeter
wall.
The two children, Edith Ann Brannan and Maggie Mounsey, were
asked to appear in this watercolour. Bushby told them it was
for a Hudson Scott and Sons's biscuit tin.
