‘Buscot Park’, Eric Ravilious, watercolour, 1938.

Eric and Tirzah spent a couple of nights in Buscot Park in the summer of ’38. He described it as the grandest house house he’d ever been in, and mentions a whale’s jaw in the grounds. Whale jaws (often from the Fin or Bowhead whale) were not an unusual sight, acting as decorative arches or frames. Many examples still exist around the country, perhaps most prominently at Whitby in Yorkshire.

Eric Ravilious (22 July 1903 – 2 September 1942) was an exceptional watercolourist, wood engraver and designer. He grew up in the shadow of the Sussex Downs in the coastal town of Eastbourne, the surrounding landscape of which heavily influenced many of his best known works. His instantly recognisable style, palette and choice of subject have an almost universal appeal, a blend which has increased in popularity with the passing of time.
