Hi,
I have the image of Saint Mary of Egypt among Sinners, but I have not
been able to locate an image of the ruin you requested.
Would you be interested in the image of the painting?
Thanks.

A short description of the Sham Gothic Ruin at Hagley Park:

The ruins in Hagley Park were "constructed in 1747 and placed at [the
first Lord] Lyttelton’s request on a prominent hill to be seen from
the house and to appear as though it has survived from medieval times"
The ruins are more than seventy feet long with one complete tower and
three partial ones.
