EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative watercolour painting, titled "The Cross, Lymm, Warrington," captures the historic charm of Lymm Cross in England. The image, believed to be the work of the renowned artist William Alexander (d.1815), showcases the medieval cross standing proudly in the heart of the village. The cross, adorned with intricate carvings and surrounded by lush greenery, has been a landmark of Lymm for centuries, drawing visitors and locals alike. The painting beautifully portrays the serene atmosphere of the village, with a man casually strolling past the cross, adding a sense of scale and life to the scene. The artist's masterful use of watercolour creates a vivid and authentic representation of the cross and its surroundings, transporting us back in time.

Its intricate design and historical significance make it a popular tourist attraction and a source of pride for the local community. This painting, collected by C G Harper and now part of the Historic England Archive, offers a unique glimpse into the past and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our historical treasures for future generations. The painting's intricate details, from the textured surface of the cross to the delicate foliage, highlight the artist's exceptional skill and dedication to capturing the essence of this historic landmark. This watercolour painting is not only a beautiful work of art but also an invaluable historical record, providing us with a glimpse into the past and the story of Lymm Cross.
