Manor house and church, Lytes Cary, Somerset

Nicholas Pevsner, South and West Somerset, Middlesex, 1958, describes Lytes Cary as 'a mixed building', with parts dating from the 14th to the 20th Century. The church was probably built about 1343, whereas the hall is ascribed to the mid-15th Century, but the windows, porch and bay are c.1515-20. The south wing with the great parlour dates from 1533 and is advanced in its design for that date.

It has been suggested that the inscription on the reverse of the waercolour is in the hand of de Wint's wife, Harriet.
