The hedge in shadow across the picture is by the B5000 Grendon Road. The specks right of centre are road signs. This countryside is a relic of the Grendon Hall estate, seat of the Chetwynd family. Jean Wood, in 'Old Polesworth', records that the Hall was bought by the Browne family, dismantled in 1931, shipped over to Georgia USA and rebuilt to provide a home for a wealthy family there. Two other Warwickshire houses suffered the same fate: Priory House in Warwick and Hams Hall near Coleshill.
