Village streets, church fittings and farm buildings give the prints of Vincent Henry Lines (1909–1968) an intimate, draughtsman’s view of southern England and the Welsh borders. Drawn for illustrated books of the later 1940s, they include Farringdon, Froyle, Buriton and farm buildings around Kingsley in Hampshire, and in Wiltshire range from Avebury’s standing stones to Ramsbury Manor and Lydiard Tregoze church. Kent supplies the Pantiles at Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks High Street, and Windsor its guildhall and the view from the bridge towards Eton, while a dovecote at Eardisland and a parsonage at New Radnor take him west to the borders.
