| Hexham Abbey from SSE HEXAB3001 Pen and ink drawing signed by Charles Clement Hodges 1886 |
| Pen and ink/pencil drawing shows Abbey from garden at north end of Beaumont Street with figures – a man and a girl wearing hats (of course). “This drawing has been made from a photo taken before any of the recent alterations and mutilations of the building had been effected. The wall of the south transept shews the weather moulding of the dormitory roof, and the doorway leading to the night stairs. The garden in the foreground is now a street, in the making of which many early foundations were found.” Signed at an angle bottom r.h. corner: “Charles C. Hodges | 1886”; drawn by W H Knowles. |
