This view of Canterbury, seen across the hop-fields from the Chatham Road, was shown at the Royal Academy in 1787. As Colonel Grant observes, whilst the composition is entirely 'Wilsonic', the ' strange colouring of the various distances are Groombridge's own patent, revealing a painter with intentions unborrowed from any' (op. cit.).
