It’s similar to one by Baker in the Leamington Spa Art Gallery and Museum.
“In 1908 Baker’s son, Edmund Baker Smith, donated five of his father’s notebooks to the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery. These notebooks contain details of all the paintings Baker produced, recorded by the artist himself. The entries contain information on the size, content, date, materials used, exhibitions and when and for how much the painting was sold.”
The farm house looks very like Newbold Farm, now the Newbold Comyn Arms, but a bit of artistic licence has it facing the river and Campion Hills both at once. There’s another house in the middle distance which would have to be Newbold Comyn, though it dosn’t look much like it. Perhaps this is intended as an ‘antique’ view?

Could it be Black Bridge?
