Additional Information:

This 7.25 inch plate is part of Stevenson's Rose Border Series. It is pictured in Henrywood2015, p. 146, along with its source print, "The Chantry, Sproughton, The Seat of C.S. Collinson Esqr., Suffolk", dated November 1, 1818 and from Thomas Cromwell's "Excursions in the County of Suffolk". The scene was also produced by Enoch Wood as part of his Grapevine Border Series and by William Adams as part of that potter's Bluebell Border Series(CoyshHenrywood1982 p.78). The pattern has been identified as Sproughton Chantry, near Ipswich, from the source print in J.P.Neale's "Views of Seats of the Nobility and Gentry..." Vol II. This is a country house built c.1700 and much altered c.1795 by Charles Collinson. It is now a Sue Ryder Home for disabled people. It was built on a 'chantry park'. This was an estate set up in 1509 by Edmund Daundy to provide the income to support a chantry priest to say prayers for his soul. See the aforementioned Grapevine Border version of Sproughton Chantry
