Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Hathercourt "The haunted aisles, the gathering gloom, By some stray shaft of eve made fair; The stillness of the neighbouring air, The faded legends of the tomb. I loved them all..." - Songs of Two Worlds. Hathercourt Church is, not beautiful, though the internal evidence in favor of its having at one time been so is considerable. It has suffered sorely at the hands of plasterers and white-washers; yet the utmost efforts of these misguided people have not altogether succeeded in effacing the traces of a better state of things - there is still grandeur in the sweep of the lofty roof, oak-raftered behind its dingy white covering; still "meaning and mystery" in the quaintly varying windows; much satisfaction for the learned in such matters, and indeed for the unlearned too, in the unmistakable beauty of the carved screen, the one object untampered with since the days when it gladdened the eyes of the ancient men who fashioned it, long, long ago.
