Jack Grunwell
Historic Miniature Watercolor of Brislington Village Smithy and Kings Arms Inn

About the Item

Title: Historic Miniature Watercolor of Brislington Village Smithy and Kings Arms Inn by Jack Grunwell, 20th century British artist Medium: Watercolor on thin card, unframed Measurements: 3.5 inches (height) x 3 inches (width) Condition: Very good and highly presentable Provenance: From a large private collection of this artists work in Bristol, England. Description: In this charming watercolour, Jack Grunwell presents a lively historic scene from Brislington Village, featuring the Kings Arms Inn and the village smithy at the heart of community life. The composition includes working horses, local figures in conversation, and the tower of St Luke’s Church rising above the treetops, anchoring the painting firmly in its Somerset setting. Once a rural village on the outskirts of Bristol, Brislington was known for its quiet lanes, cottages, and working trades like blacksmithing—essential to daily life in the 18th and 19th centuries. The Kings Arms, a prominent coaching inn, still serves the area today. Grunwell captures not only the architecture but also the atmosphere of a time when the smithy was a bustling social and practical hub. Perfect for collectors of British village scenes, historical trades, or West Country heritage, this piece offers a wonderful snapshot of traditional English life in a bygone era.
