*A4 FINE ART GICLEE PRINTS NOW AVAILABLE*

Shere is a beautiful, quintessential English village located between the towns of Guildford and Dorking. The village offers visitors charming buildings, a stream with ducks, a small museum, a tearoom, two pubs, The White Horse and The William Bray as well as St James Church a 12th century church. There are also some fantastic examples of Lutyens architecture here, too - quite romantic really.

Surrounded by stunning scenery, in the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to popular scenic sites Newlands Corner and the Silent Pool, the quaint picturesque village of Shere is popular with walkers as well as being a favourite location for filmmakers with scenes in ‘Bridget Jones, The Edge of Reason’, Powell & Pressburger’s ‘A Matter of Life and Death’, ‘The Holiday’ and, more recently, the TV adaptation of Agatha Christie’s ‘Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?’ being filmed here.

The Church of St James appeared in the Domesday Book. It contains a tiny, enclosed cell in which Christine Carpenter, an anchoress (religious recluse) lived. Her only contact with the outside world was through a grid and an aperture through which food was passed.

It is clear to see why Shere has been used as a location for many films.

The A4 giclée prints have been created using Epson UltrachromeHD pigment inks guaranteed not to fade (under normal lighting conditions) for at least 75 years, and are printed on Epson Velvet Fine Art paper which is acid free and 260g/m in weight.
