  1. West Wycombe Park from a few summers ago. West Wycombe Park is the pleasure palace of 18th-century libertine and dilettante Sir Francis Dashwood, 2nd Baronet who also established the infamous "Hellfire Club" in the nearby West Wycombe Caves.

  2. I was out painting in West Wycombe yesterday, seems a while since I've done this and the weather was nice. Looking at the A40 and Chorley Road from next to Church Lane.

  3. A view of West Wycombe Hill from the field next to Pedestal roundabout, painted yesterday afternoon. It seems odd that I have never painted this well known view. Oil on gesso panel, 20 x 25 cm.

  5. Today's painting looking towards pedestal roundabout (behind the trees) and High Wycombe in the distance, from the side of West Wycombe Hill. Oil on canvas panel, 25 x 20 cm.

  6. What a strange underground folly, the brainchild of Sir Francis Dashwood, the #hellfirecaves were dug under
    #westwycombe hill in the 1750s. Only the rocks know what the #hellfireclub got up to, which is probably for the best.

  7. @BassCan That’s lovely. Reminded me of when I captured an image of the Dashwood in West Wycombe a couple of years back.
