Rambling Sketches: Normandy, 1890. 'The Orchard; The Porch; Market Place; Honfleur; Ruined church of Criqueboeuf; Manoir Canapville...this district of Lower Normandy has many attractions of varied rural scenery...Honfleur [is] an agreeable old town much frequented by quiet English families, and readily accessible from Southampton or Littlehampton...our Rambling Artist has...found one of the most picturesque examples of an old Norman-French manor-house, built in the half-timbered style of the sixteenth century, for the subject of one of his Sketches. [The Manoir des Evêques - ie Bishops' Manor] is now used only as a farmhouse, yet the exterior retains its original features; the façade is very characteristic, and the barns and outbuildings have a peculiar quaintness. Returning to the seacoast, he inspected, at the village of Criqueboeuf, a curious ancient church [Eglise Saint-Martin], covered with ivy, beside a still pond, with such an air of antiquity that we are reminded how the Dukes of Normandy were Kings of England when that old church was built. One should go to Normandy and Picardy, not only for pleasant rambles and bits of artistic material, but for the study of much that belongs to our own ancestry and the foundation of this realm' From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
