The Gatehouse

From the Athelhampton archive this evening a view of the Gatehouse at Athelhampton, built in the 1550’s, but sadly pulled down in 1862. This fabulous picture by Orlando Jewitt, not in his preferred medium of wood-cut print, instead in pen and water making the picture look almost like a photograph.
