About the Item

James Basire & John Carter Stalls in Tiltey Church Essex & Stalls in the Choir of Rochester Cathedral Engraving 50 x 32 cm This engraving was originally published by the Society of Antiquaries of London, an organisation dedicated to studying and preserving historical monuments. The society commissioned a series of architectural engravings by James Basire, this one based on a drawing by John Carter. In doing so, the Antiquaries hoped to preserve and disseminate knowledge of England’s architectural heritage. This engraving depicts the stalls in Tiltey Church Essex and Rochester Cathedral. Each set of stalls has its own set of distinguishing features. Although the stalls in Tiltey Church are comparatively pared back with their bare bricks and simple stone masonry, these nooks are not simply stalls but are in fact a three-levelled sedilia with a piscina, as was typical in medieval churches. The sedilia in Rochester Cathedral is, in contrast, extremely ornate, figuring as a fine example of Gothic architecture, specifically from the Decorated period (c. 1250–1350).
