| From the
historic work
of the by the brothers, Samuel and Nathaniel Buck, Views of Ruins
of Castles & Abbeys in England, 1726-1739. Samuel and Nathaniel
Buck were the most important topographical artists of the 18th
century, creating a record of over 500 ancient monuments &
towns in England and Wales. Many of these monuments had been
devastated during the course of the Reformation, particularly
during the period when Oliver Cromwell ruled England as "Lord
Protector." The Bucks Views, as they have become known, provide an
invaluable record of these magnificent buildings, some of which
have seen further deterioration during the 275 years that have
since passed.
