Description: | A drawing in ink of the font in Wyke Regis church in Dorset. The church was completed in 1455, replacing an earlier church near the same site. With its tall, square west tower and emphasis on sharp vertical lines, it remains an important example of the Perpendicular Gothic style of architecture. Sculpted heads of Henry VI and Queen Margaret of Anjou (monarchs when the church was consecrated) face each other across the nave. This font dates from the same time as the church. | 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 |
