Wenlock Abbey

The caption is ‘Wenlock Abbey’, the name Ruskin used to refer to Much Wenlock Priory founded originally by St.Milburga. The image on Notebook M2 p.188 is used as fig. 10 of Plate IX facing Works, 9.319. It is called the Refectory at Works, 9.321, but seems to be of the Chapter House not the Refectory.

There is writing in pencil (mostly to the right of the drawing, if it is held the right way up):

Wenlock Abbey / a / hollow / [cornelimes?] / has balls / a b / vertical the dotted line through / profile joint the wall line [through?] / [of?] pilaster b2 / b b2 / capital base / round / [?]
