A quaint delineation of a church-interior during service; the pastor, who is somewhat of the Dr. Syntax type, is holding forth. There is a squire's pew, a rosy, sleepy clerk, a large leavening of fat slumberers (among the rest the sexton and pew-opener), a crowded gallery, worshippers both devout and careless, gazers through curiosity, and the usual elements which made up a grotesque-looking country congregation at the end of the last century, including a man with crutches and a peg leg

A drawing of the room at Horace Walpole's Strawberry Hill villa that connected the Gallery with the Holbein Chamber. An arched passageway dominates the right side of the image, thorough which the edge of a canopy bed and a chair are visible. Beyond this furniture is another arched passageway leading into the Holbein Chamber, with the chimneypiece and its surroundings plainly visible. The long and narrow connecting room makes up the foreground, its walls and ceiling decorated with the simple motif of parallel lines periodically intersecting to create a lattice. A stained glass window is seen at the far end of the room, on the left edge of the image
