Meeting of the Archaeological Institute - Professor Willis's Visit to Christchurch Cathedral, Oxford, 1850. 'the Rev. Professor Willis delivered his lecture on the Cathedral, in the Sheldonian Theatre, where a most numerous and distinguished audience was assembled. The Professor commenced by observing that nothing very new could be expected from him on this occasion, the Cathedral not affording him in fact the usual theme, being inferior to most of our ecclesiastical edifices of any note...[he] proceeded to the Cathedral, where he pointed out the peculiarities of style or construction to which he had alluded in his discourse, and which, without this practical elucidation, might have appeared somewhat obscure to the uninitiated. It is whilst in the act of explaining the triforium over the arches of the nave that our Artist has selected as the fittest time for making the accompanying Sketch'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
