Title: Jack Grunwell; Historic Miniature Watercolor of Bristol Cathedral and School from Canons Marsh, 2008 Description: Title: Pair of Miniature Watercolors of Frenchay Church and Friends Meeting House by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed Measurements: 2.5 inches (height) x 4 inches (width) Condition: Very good and highly presentable Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work in Bristol, England. Description: This charming diptych by Jack Grunwell features two historic buildings in the Frenchay and Bristol area: Frenchay Church and the Friends’ Meeting House. Both buildings are central to the local community and reflect contrasting but harmonious aspects of English religious architecture and heritage. The left panel shows Frenchay Parish Church (St. John the Baptist) nestled in lush greenery with its pointed spire rising above the treeline — a classic example of the 19th-century Gothic Revival style in a rural setting. On the right is the Friends’ Meeting House, a plain yet dignified Quaker building, complete with shuttered arched windows and figures gathered outside, including a man on horseback. These meeting houses were significant spaces of quiet worship and reformist thinking, and many still operate today. This pair is perfect for collectors of ecclesiastical architecture, Quaker history, or those connected to Frenchay or the wider Bristol region.
