Batemans, Burwash, East Sussex, 1915. Batemans, a stone-built house of 1634, reflected in an ornamental lake. A semi-circular bench with a hedge behind flanks one side of the lake, with a row of trees to the right. An oast house, typical of the area, is also visible through the trees. The writer Rudyard Kipling was living in the house at this time, having bought it in 1902.
