Rhodes, J. N.

A ruined priory, a castle gateway and an old hall picture medieval Lincolnshire in these prints by J. N. Rhodes, steel engravings published by John Saunders in 1836 for an illustrated county work that set views beside descriptions and local statistics. Rhodes made the drawings, and W. Watkins was among the engravers who put them into print. Thornton Priory stands as a substantial ruin in open pastoral country with cattle nearby, the gateway of Lincoln Castle brings in a fortified city site, and Gainsborough Hall is a historic secular building.
