Drawn inversely relative to the foliation, here Turner has made a study of the village of Ifley in Oxfordshire with the Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin at centre. The church is recorded elsewhere in this sketchbook at Tate D28323, D28328, D28343; Turner Bequest CCLXXXIX 17, 19a, 27. There is also a slight undeveloped jotting above the foliation details.
