Canadian reunites 1872 painting with Suffolk pub

“I inherited it from my mother who must have picked it up somewhere and transported it to the United States of America,” Mr Marrack explained.

“It was then sitting in my basement in Canada and I thought about it before I looked up where Claydon was.

“As it happened, one of my cousins now lives in Woodbridge in Suffolk – just up the road from Claydon.

“I thought I should really repatriate it to the Greyhound pub, so I called them up.”

Mr Marrack said his mother “would find all kinds of things” in junk shops and antique stores, but it was not clear where she found the Henry John Wykes painting.

He believes she may have purchased it as far back as the 1960s.

“I seem to remember hanging it on her wall somewhere before I inherited her stuff,” he added.
