Adrian Allinson was born and lived in London. He studied at the Slade Art School with artists such as C. R. W. Nevinson, Stanley Spencer and Mark Gertler. As well as painting, he also worked in ceramics and sculpture. This painting shows a very idealistic view of village life. The weather is fine and all the figures in the painting look contented as they go about their daily routine. The viewer's eye is drawn to the church at the centre of the painting, symbolising its position as the focus of the community. The gardens in the foreground are neat, tidy and full of home-grown produce.
