What reading level is The Antiquities of the Priory of Christ Church Hampshire Consisting of Plans book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
J. St. Veronica, holding the miraculous icon, or napkin, impressed with a likeness of our Saviour. 8. An eagle, within a wreath. 9- Pendent removed.
The western part of the choir, wainscoted with oak, is chiefly occupied by the ancient stalls and sub-seats of the priory establishment : viz. Fifteen on each side, and six at the west end ; two of the latter, distinguished by ornamental canopies, were those for the prior and sub-prior ; there is also a third of a similar kind at the east end of th...e southernmost row, which was that for the lector, or reader. On each side, extending the entire length, there is a beau- tiful coping, or cornice, above the stalls, which is terminated by an open-work parapet and pinnacles, and decorated by an elegantly wrought fascia, or fillet, of fructed vine-branches.
On the backs, arms, and jambs of the stalls, as well as on the miser eries, or under-seats, there is a profusion of carving, in alto and bas-relief, including many representations of a grotesque and satirical character, which are supposed to refer to the selfish arts of the mendicant friars, who began to establish them- selves in England in the thirteenth century.
