<p>Miss Helen Sutherland wrote (1 August 1957) that ‘this picture and a good many <a class="glossarylinktopopup" data-gtm-destination="article-page" data-gtm-name="body_text_link" href="http://www.tate.org.uk/learn/online-resources/glossary/p/painting" title="Glossary definition for 'Painting'"><span>paintings</span></a> of the same subject [e.g. ‘The Chapel Perilous’ in her Collection, repr. Ironside, 1949, pl.26] were done from Rock Hall - a house I rented for eleven years - and the room Mr Jones liked always to have overlooked the tiny village &amp; my fields...looking onto the very lovely little Norman Chapel or Church - Obviously it all had a “significance” for Mr Jones &amp; he used to call it “The Chapel Perilous” for as you are sure to know the Morte d'Arthur had a great significance for him also.’</p>
