Ruined priories, parish churches and surviving medieval details are the heart of these prints from Antiquarian & Topographical Cabinet, published by W. Clarke in London between 1808 and 1812. The work gathered illustrated accounts of historic buildings and antiquities in Great Britain, at a time when antiquaries were paying close attention to structures overlooked beside grander monuments. Castle Acre Priory and Dudley Priory appear alongside churches at Dereham and Northampton, and a ruined arch, chapel or church front gives each plate a precise architectural focus, including the fragments left after the dissolution of the monasteries.
