"Commissioned by the Sunday Times, the BBC and the British Tourist Authority, James Bartholomew’s Seascape and Landscape paintings have collected several notable awards.
Inspired by the coastline, James regularly travels around the British Isles; particularly Cornwall, Pembrokeshire and the Scottish islands. He has also completed considerable bodies of work in France, Tuscany, Venice and New York.
In addition, James’s increasingly collectable animal paintings have created another aspect to his output, and now appear in many corporate as well as private collections.
A member of the Royal Society of Marine Artists (RSMA) and The Manchester Academy of Fine Art (MAFA), when not on location, James works full time from his studio at the Mill House Gallery"

The windmill stands near to the bank of the Leeds - Liverpool Canal and was built circa 1800, about 20 years after the canal was opened, but stopped being used as a windmill around 1850.
It became an English Heritage Heritage Grade II listed building in 1988.
