The 1950-53 mural commission at Myton School (then Oken School) was Sorrell’s last major mural work.

At 16 metres in length, the mural fills the main entrance to the school building. It is a work in oil paint, applied directly to the plaster wall, and depicts a sweeping verdant landscape where the theme of the four seasons is played out from left to right, starting and finishing with winter. The mural is currently covered.
