HISTORICAL ACCOUNT
OF THE
Cljucdj of §&♦ $eter, at Bitjtieston,
WILTSHIRE.
The churches of St. Peter and St. Nicholas, at Biddeston, remarkable for their
peculiar but picturesque bell-turrets, seem to be of great antiquity; and, as the
presentations always mention the church of St. Peter before the vicarage of
St. Nicholas, we may with safety presume that there must have been a building
long anterior to the one which forms the subject of the five following Plates.
The great charm of these bell-turrets being almost lost when drawn geome-
trically, the author has been induced to insert perspective sketches of both.
