'In his own time, Green's work, both artistic and literary was hugely influential, connecting the earlier picturesque movement with a growing realism in the portrayal of the natural world' (Walsh). He was a keeper of alternative place names and he 'railed against the loss of an older world [.] he depicts buildings unaltered from the seventeenth century, longhouses with timber mullions, fire windows and wrestler slated roofs drenched in moss and ferns' (ibid). (See: Deborah Walsh: 'A Man before his Time', Cumbria and Lakeland Walker, November 2025, 48-51).…
