Fine Art Paintings & Portraits from Exton in Rutland.
High Street - Exton in Rutland - 5th Feb 2009Artist: Penny Richardson.
Exton Art is situated in the village of Exton in the county of Rutland in the East Midlands.
Exton in Rutland is one of four villages called Exton in the UK. The other three villages are found in Somerset, Devon and Hampshire.
The High Street as seen in this painting is on the west side of the village close to the country estate, Exton Park.
The present Exton Hall dates back to the 19th century of the Victorian era. The original Exton Hall was a Tudor mansion that burnt down in 1810.
You can see the ruins of this Tudor mansion from the Exton Parish Church.
The Parish Church of St Peter & Pauls dates back to the 13th century.
In the 1850s the Parish Church was almost destroyed by a lightening strike and was more or less rebuilt.
We also have a very attractive village green at Exton which can be seen from a Limited Edition Photograph taken by Exton Photographer John Richardson, for sale at Exton Fine Art.
