Description: | View of St. Albans Abbey and gatehouse seen from the river Ver. Although the site has been a place of pilgrimage for over 1,700 years, the present building was originally constructed in the 11th century. It has been re-built and refurbished at various times in its history, most significantly in the 12th and 19th century. It is vast, possessing an extremely long, Romanesque-style nave. This is a copy by Charles Alban Buckler of a watercolour given to him for his 21st birthday in 1845 by his grandfather, the artist and architect John Buckler (1770-1851). | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Buckler, Charles Alban | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
