Gough's Drawings of the King's Stone
Dec 01, 2006, 18:28
"There are three drawings: of the North side, the West side, and the South-West side. They are executed in watercolour. The drawings of the Stone from the North side show every evidence of care and attention to detail... That these drawings are in the main correct, allowing for a certain degree of "artist's licence," appears to be substantiated by the similarity between Gough's drawing of the Stone from the West side, and the drawing by Bloxam from the same aspect made in 1865, and reproduced in the "Transactions of the Birmingham Archaeology Society" for 1874 (Vol. V: "Sepulchral Monuments of Warwickshire.")."*

* From Appendix 3, Gough's Drawings of the King's Stone in the Bodleian Library (Gough MSS) in The Rollright Stones and The Men Who Erected Them by T H Ravenhill. Cornish brothers Ltd. 1932.
