Volume: St Augustine's Abbey, Kent

Description

Twenty-two reconstruction illustrations and one general illustration depicting St Augustine's Abbey in Canterbury, and its component structures, throughout the history of the site. The illustrations were largely created between 1988 and 2011 for English Heritage, in order to be reproduced in site guidebooks and on information panels at the site.

Three reconstruction illustrations depicting the development of the Anglo-Saxon Church of St Peter and St Paul were created by Terry Ball in 1988, with a further illustration reconstruction the west facade of the church, created in 1991. An aerial view of the Abbey as it appeared in the late twentieth century was created by Peter Dunn in 1997.

The set includes twelve reconstruction illustrations of the site created by Peter Urmston in 1997, which depict interior, exterior and aerial views of individual buildings and the site as a whole. A further four reconstruction drawings were created by Jill Atherton in 2011; two showing the Church of St Peter and St Paul as it may have appeared in the early seventh century, one showing the interior of the Refectory in the mid-thirteenth century and the last a reconstructed ground plan of the Church of St Peter and St Paul as it may have been laid out in the early to mid-seventh century.

There is also one black and white preliminary sketch and some additional backup material, created by Peter Dunn, and fourteen black and white sketches created by Terry Ball. These have not been catalogued at item level.
