Nash Postcards The scene of Nayland and surrounding countryside was painted by John Nash in the early 1950s for a series produced by the Post Office to encourage the use of correct postal addresses. The view is from Gravel Hill looking over the village and across the valley to Essex in the south. St. James' Church with its earlier extended tower is the focal point of the picture. The cedar tree on the left of the picture was destroyed by the hurricane in 1987. The village is easily recognizable today. A Painting of Nayland Village by John Nash
