"A short distance beyond is Vernon Holme, the residence of Thomas Sidney Cooper, Esq., A.R.A., a gentleman who, after many arduous years devoted to literature and art, has settled near his native city, having by his genius and undaunted energies won for himself a leading name among the landscape and cattle painters of Europe."

John Brent, "Canterbury in the Olden Time" 1860
