JMW Turner inspired impressionist painters like Monet. He was born 250 years ago, his face appears on the £20 note and he was played by Timothy Spall in a Mike Leigh movie filmed in the Petersphere.

In the 1820s the third Earl of Egremont opened the doors of Petworth House and the 700 acre park and invited the artist to sketch, draw and paint there.

The National Trust has assembled the paintings the Earl purchased, along with loans from the Tate and private collectors in a new Exhibition which runs at Petworth House until mid November.

Mark Simpson caught up with Sue Rhodes the Visitor Operations and Experience Manager there.
