More about this scene
We are in a valley of the Downs near Beachy Head. The Tiger Inn is a fine building that was a barracks during the Napoleonic wars. The village church of St Simon and St Jude's has a semi-detached Norman tower and a sepulchral cross slab bearing the arms of the Bardolf family, who were Lords of the Manor of Birling. The road southwards leads to Birling Gap, a coastline hamlet with spectacular scenery and chalk cliffs. The scene is similar today, but with more trees and buildings in the foreground. The inn has been extended at the right-hand end.
