Holy-Rood Chapel in Edinburgh

A beautiful engraving of the ruins of Holy-Rood Chapel in Edinburgh.

The Abbey was desecrated by Hertford in 1544, and later restored by Abbot Bellenden. The Abbey was damaged during the English raids under Somerset in 1547, and the roofs stripped of their lead coverings. The transepts with their chapels and the quire and presbytery were cast down about 1569 by order of the General Assembly of the Reformed Kirk. The vaulted loft ceiling fell later, in 1768, destroying the main arcading on the north side and north aisle. King Charles I improved the appearance of the truncated Abbey in his zeal for Episcopacy. Engraved by W. Tombleson from a drawing by Thomas H. Shepherd, it was published by Jones & Co, Temple of the Muses, Finsbury Square, London, 1831. The page is 8" x 5".

St. Anthony's Chapel, Edinburgh

A scenic engraving of the ruins of St Anthony's Chapel, near Edinburgh.

The Chapel was originally a simple slate-capped building with a 40 foot high tower, and appears in a view of the city as early as 1544. It remains an enigma, however, for neither the date of its construction nor its purpose is known. There is a clear view of the Chapel from Leith and the Firth of Forth, and it is possible that a light was hung in the tower to guide ships. Engraved by S. Lacey from a drawing by Thomas H. Shepherd. Published by Jones & Co, Temple of the Muses, Finsbury Square, London, 1831. The page is 8" x 5".
