It's in the Long Gallery. See the description below:

'An effective painting, "Sussex Landscape", by Mr. Bertram Nicholls, is a prominent feature at the forward end of he gallery, while at the after end there is a painting by Mr. Algernon Newton, A.R.A., entitled "Evening on the Avon."'

And here is the link:

Go down to the photo that has the caption:

'Looking aft at the entrances to the ballroom and the foyer'

You will see it at the end of the gallery.

Do you remember seeing it, Elizabeth?
