Keeper's Cottage

Keeper's Cottage is an isolated settlement within the Devil's Punch Bowl that is characteristic of woodland encroachment in the C16. It is served by a spring. Originally a two-cell building, it was altered and extended, probably in the mid-to-later C17 and C18. It is a Grade II listed building (27th November, 2015).

This reproduction was photographed from a notelet. The original painting was by A R Quinton who first exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1879. He was born in 1853 and until his death in 1934, produced many paintings for reproduction by art publishers.
