Summary

Sickert’s travels were confined to England during the First World War. In the summer of 1915 he travelled to Chagford, an ancient town situated on the north eastern edge of Dartmoor in Devon. Here he made a large number of drawings, tinted with watercolour or wash. The churchyard was a favourite motif and the subject of several oil paintings
