Description: | 1823
Select parts of Kirkstall Abbey. Drawn and etched by George Cuitt 1823. This view shows the North Door which led into the corner of the Nave. A long rectangular building would originally have stood in front of this door. This porch or Galilee was a type of waiting area for travellers and lay people seeking admission into the Church. The door and porch were built in the 12th century with the majority of the Abbey buildings. The arched doorway is decorated with zig-zag patterns and carved columns. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Kirkstall Abbey Galilee Engraving North Door | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
