1784 St Mary’s Church and Tower in Middlesex - Antique engraving
€60.00
Tax included
St Mary’s Church and Tower in Middlesex.
Title: View of Hornsey Church in Middlesex.
Engraver: Alexander Hogg, 1778-1824 (fl).
Production date: 1784.
Size: 18,7x18 cms.
Condition: good. Trimmed and stuck to cardboard.
The church is first mentioned in a papal taxation list of 1291 but could be much older. The Bishop of London’s 1303 will refers to Walt de Londinia, as ‘Rector of the Church of Haryngeye’. The list of Rectors of Hornsey from 1391 to the present day is complete. There is physical, written and pictorial evidence of the medieval church but most of the images we have are from the 18th and early 19th centuries. It was a small building, added to over the centuries, with small windows, a south aisle, dormer window, vestry chimney, stair to the loft over the rood screen and a squat tower. Today, all that remains of St Mary’s Church is its bell tower, standing in the former churchyard, a little back from Hornsey High Street.
