| Inside the East End of Nettley Abbey by Michel Angelo Rooker (British, 1746-1801). |
Foxifier links to a Roger Pearse who links to Original Douay Rheims Bible (1582 & 1610) where I found this cool drawing. I'm no bible scholar, but I am slightly curious about the history of Christianity, and hey, look, links to follow.
Wikipedia has a page about the Nettley Abbey:
Netley Abbey is a ruined late medieval monastery in the village of Netley near Southampton in Hampshire, England. The abbey was founded in 1239 as a house for monks of the austere Cistercian order. Despite royal patronage, Netley was never rich, produced no influential scholars nor churchmen, and its nearly 300-year history was quiet. The monks were best known to their neighbours for the generous hospitality they offered to travellers on land and sea.
