Turner was a frequent visitor to Farnley Hall near Otley.He was a close friend of the owner Walter Fawkes and did a lot of paintings in the surrounding area while staying there.

One of the pictures looks like the Chantry Bridge at Wakey

I remember seeing a reproduction of a Turner watercolour of Gledhow Hall.http://www.fgvw.co.uk/html/woods/gledhallhistory.htm states that it is now in private hands.
