This is the unique original Gouache painting by Ken Petts.

Relics and other precious and valuable property being removed by government workers at the time of Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries, 1536 - 1541.

Petts' painting shows a scene that took place in Oxford where Henry refused to attack the University, but churches were not so fortunate.
