It is probable that Charles Townley, the noted antiquary and connoisseur, was also a patron of Barret.
Townley returned from the Grand Tour in the mid-1770s, and it is likely to be after this that he commissioned the painting of his country house Towneley Hall.
This a typical late Barret, similar to the Southwick Park and Burton Constable paintings, with the house placed towards the centre and framed with trees to the side.
 This painting is now in the Towneley Hall Museum and Art Gallery.
