The Glory of English Gothic Architecture
Submitted by Andy Marshall on October 19, 2008 – 10:07 amNo Comment
Saint Mary, Studley Royal by William Burges was built between 1871 and 1878. It is a masterpiece of High Victorian Gothic with an interior which is a visual delight.
The chancel and sanctuary are richly decorated with angelic hosts and golden lions.
This wonderful example of Anglo-Catholic architecture is often overshadowed by its neighbour Fountains Abbey but is well worth the 20 minute walk to see its interior delights
