A small painting dated 1791. Had it been from a slightly different angle, the Greenfoot Inn may have been seen off to the right of the picture.
Notice the spelling of SORNE, with an E!

Staff photos taken 1864, which is certainly about the earliest photos on this site. They seem to have been taken in a studio though.
