Description
A view over the cricket green to St Peter's Church on Southborough Common in Kent, southeast England in early spring. The church was built in 1830 by the famous architect Decimus Burton, who is best known for designing the well known Calverley Park and Crescent in neighbouring Tunbridge Wells. The church was built using the local yellow clay brick and sandstone, the tower and spire was added when it was extended in 1883 and is a well known local landmark. In the foreground are some daffodils or Narcissus plants in flower, next to the base of one of the fine old oak trees on the green. Originally native to southern Europe and North Africa, they are a member of the amaryllis family (Amaryllidaceae) and now very common and popular in parks and gardens worldwide and also as cut flowers. In the UK and northern Europe they usually flower in early spring and are an obvious sign of the changing seasons.
