Glastonbury Abbey - North Door of St. Joseph's Chapel, 1850. Ruined medieval abbey in Glastonbury, Somerset. View showing '...the North Portal of St. Joseph's Chapel, than which nothing in freestone masonry can be more highly sculptured. This building is attributed to the abbacy of Hirlewinus, between the years 1102 and 1120. It consists of semicircular arches (four in number), receding gently in succession into the body of the wall, and diminishing in size as they recede, each resting on pillars, and their fasciae thickly covered with a profusion of sculptured representations. We perceive the whole of this very interesting property is to be disposed of by auction;...whoever may become its possessor, we trust will respect the venerable and romantic ruins'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
