Interior of Upton Church, Bucks. 1850. Creator: Unknown
Interior of Upton Church, Buckinghamshire, 1850. St Laurence's Church at Upton-cum-Chalvey, 12th-century Norman. The interior presents a sad picture of desolation. The view we give is taken from within the tower, looking towards the chancel...The nave roof is arched, but totally devoid of ornament...On the north pier of the chancel arch is the tablet to Sir William Herschel; and near it is that to dame Mary his wife, both of the simplest style. The monument of the great astronomer is delineated in our View, and the reader will not fail to observe how lowly is the final resting-place of the most gifted man of the present century'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the interior of St Laurence's Church in Upton-cum-Chalvey, Buckinghamshire, dating back to the 12th century. The image, published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, presents a melancholic scene of desolation and decay. Taken from within the tower, the view gazes towards the chancel, revealing an arched nave roof that is stark and bereft of ornamentation. The tablet commemorating Sir William Herschel, the renowned astronomer, and his wife Dame Mary, can be seen on the north pier of the chancel arch. Their monuments, of the simplest style, are a humble contrast to the great mind and groundbreaking discoveries they left behind. Sir William Herschel, a British scientist, is depicted in the print, lying lowly in his final resting place. This print, a testament to the passage of time, offers a glimpse into the past, revealing the architectural beauty and history that lies within the walls of this ancient place of worship. The print, published in the Victorian era, highlights the importance of documenting historical sites and preserving their stories for future generations. The print, from the collection of The Print Collector, showcases the intricacies of the 12th-century Norman architecture, including the vaulted ceiling, and offers a glimpse into the religious history of Britain during the 19th century.
