The Victorian Church of Christ Church in Doncaster is depicted by the artist after the spire was damaged by a lightening strike in 1836. The spire was in the wars again in 1850 when it was damaged by gales, and it was finally taken down in 1900 after it became unsafe. The spire was replaced in 1938.
