Description: | North View of Northleach Church in Gloucestershire. This is one of the most prominent and impressive of the Cotswold Wool Churches. Its building was due to its patron, John Fortey, a wealthy wool merchant, who supported it during his lifetime and upon his death in 1458/9, he left £300 for its completion. As can be seen in this view, the church had a particularly lofty clerestory with battlements and tall crocketed pinnacles. The large west tower is built in four diminishing stages. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
