This appears to show one of the ruined arches of the unfinished tower of East Bergholt Church, probably the north one (see Graham Reynolds, The Early Paintings and Drawings of John Constable, 1996, nos. 6.4, 6.6, 6.8 and 6.9) and is likely to originate from the same sketchbook as `Tomb of James Gubbins, Epsom.'

We are grateful to Anne Lyles for her help in cataloguing this drawing.
