HEXAB3006
This view of Hexham Abbey Church was drawn by Stephen Anderton and engraved by Daniel King for William Dugdale's Monasticon Anglicanum 1655. Frame 450 × 410mm
This is the earliest view of the Abbey in which architectural details can be seen.
Although much has been altered and the perspective is a bit awkward, there are many features which have not changed.
