EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Hexham Abbey, a true testament to centuries of British history. Taken in 1830 by Miss Byrne, this image captures the awe-inspiring interior of the abbey located in Northumberland, England. Originally established as a Benedictine monastery in the 7th century, Hexham Abbey underwent transformations throughout its existence. In Norman times, it was replaced by an Augustinian priory which shaped much of its current architectural features dating back to c1170-1250. Despite facing closure during the Dissolution of Monasteries in 1537, this remarkable church managed to survive and became Hexham's parish church. The print beautifully portrays the intricate archways and arches that define early English Gothic architecture within the abbey's choir section. The monochrome effect adds a sense of timelessness and enhances every detail captured by Miss Byrne's lens. Hexham Abbey stands as an important religious landmark in Northumbria, symbolizing Christianity's enduring presence throughout medieval times. Its historical significance is further emphasized by its inclusion on this print from The Print Collector collection curated by Nicholson. This photograph serves as a window into Britain's rich heritage and invites viewers to appreciate both the grandeur of architectural design and the resilience of faith that has withstood centuries within these hallowed walls.
