18th-century Artists Impressions of Kirkstall Abbey

(5/9 )

back

Watercolour of Kirkstall Abbey church from the north east by Moses Griffith (1747-1819). At the time of the painting in 1773 the tower was still intact but part of it collapsed in 1779. The painting is so detailed it shows the piscina inside the presbytery.
