Summary

Description

Coat of arms of See of Chester/Bishops of Chester seated at Chester Cathedral, before 1541 the Abbey of St Werburgh, founded in 1093 by Hugh d'Avranches, Earl of Chester (c. 1047 – 27 July 1101), also known as Hugh le Gros ("the fat") and Hugh Lupus ("the wolf").


An image from a set of 8 extra-illustrated volumes of A tour in Wales by Thomas Pennant (1726-1798) that chronicle the three journeys he made through Wales between 1773 and 1776. These volumes are unique because they were compiled for Pennant's own library at Downing. This edition was produced in 1781.

The volumes include a number of original drawings by Moses Griffiths, Ingleby and other well known artists of the period.
