Légende

Doorway, York, 1870. 'The Abbey of St. Mary, which gave a mitre to its Abbot, was condemned at the Reformation, and used, like the Colosseum at Rome, as a quarry for the construction of other buildings, whilst the land around it was seized and confiscated to the Crown. With a large portion of the materials the King's Manor House was built, and was long occupied by Wentworth, Earl of Strafford, against whom it was brought as a serious charge that he had affixed his private arms to a doorway (as in the Engraving), and so had taken an unwarrantable liberty with a Royal palace. It is now turned to a noble use, as a school for the blind, in memory of the philanthropic Wilberforce'. From "Illustrated London News, 1870.
