Barn at Wootton alt. title: The Farm Yard; Barns in an English Farmyard; Cookham Barns

Although it had latterly become known as Cookham Barns, this painting has been reidentified as Barn at Wootton, exhibited at the Goupil Gallery Salon in 1925 (48). It is likely to refer to Wootton near Abingdon, an area Spencer painted frequently in the mid 1920s, rather than the Wootton near Woodstock, though both are in Oxfordshire.
