A lovely and unique black ink drawing of Ormskirk Parish in Lancashire, England with a special call-out of a yellow Iris Pseudacorus in colored pencil. The intricate design highlights the tower and the spire of Ormskirk Parish, said to be the only church in England with both featured on the same side of the building. The drawing is signed by the artist, Di Brown, '89.
The drawing is professionally matted with a marble-like pattern trimmed in gold and black. The frame is in a gold tone.
The framed drawing is 12" H, 10" W, and 0.75" D. The drawing itself is 8" H and 6" W.
From the Ormskirk Parish website:
There has been a place of worship on this site since before 1170 which is the approximate date of the oldest part of the building, the Norman window in the Chancel.
The Chancel arcade dates from 1270 and the base of the spire from 1430. The great tower was completed in 1570. This is one of the only three churches with this feature of the tower and spire and is unique in having them both at the same end.
The building was greatly restored at the end of the 19th century. It has beautiful stain glass windows and carvings. Recently there has been further work done to the interior to create a more welcome entrance. less
