Description:
Depicts Jedburgh Abbey, Scottish Borders, with the River Jed in the foreground. Sir Walter Scott describes Jedburgh Abbey in his 'Essay on Border Antiquities' (1814), inaccurately praising its Anglo-Norman chapter-house as 'a very perfect specimen of Saxon architecture'. There are further references in The Black Dwarf and The Monastery. The Abbey was built by David I around 1138 but had fallen into ruin by the mid-sixteenth century. Scott was a frequent visitor to Jedburgh in his capacity as Sheriff Depute of Selkirkshire. He subscribed £10 toward the repair-work on the Abbey's tower in 1824-1826. The engraving by Richard Godfrey was probably made for Francis Grose's The Antiquarian Repertory (1775-1784). It is likely to have been made from Godfrey's own design.
