Tonight I was looking for images for Nancy Mayer’s new page The Bishops and Archbishops in England in 1815. I found more beautiful illustrations than I needed of Canterbury and Salisbury Cathedrals, so I decided to make a little gallery of the images. The pictures come from Cathedral Antiquities: Salisbury. 1814 and A graphical illustration of the metropolitan cathedral church of Canterbury: accompanied by a history and description … of that venerable fabric … : also comprising biographical sketches of the lives of the archbishops, and deans of Canterbury : and historical notices of the celebrated Convent of Christchurch, published in 1816
