Description: | Benedictine monks built St Catherine's Chapel in the 14th century high up on a hill to act as a beacon to pilgrims making their way to the abbey below. The chapel is built from local stone and, as can be seen in this picture, so too is the roof - it would have been quite a task hauling such heavy stones up this hill. Although the chapel is relatively small it does possess a striking silhouette, making it seem more monumental than it actually is. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Grimm, Samuel Hieronymus | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
