Description:Watercolour sketch by Great Haywood born artist, Thomas Peploe Wood (1817-1845), of a battle scene with men on horseback. This is a study for a large oil painting commissioned by John Gardner Esq. of London. ‘The Ballad of Chevy Chase’, was the story of a hunting party in the Cheviot Hills, led by Percy, Earl of Northumberland. The Scottish Earl Douglas thought the hunters were an invasion force and a bloody battle followed. The story, popular in Wood’s time, is believed to refer to the Battle of Otterburn in 1388.
