The Minster is a 1918 by Frederick Landseer Maur Griggs, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This drawing shows a tall, detailed church with two towering spires and smaller buildings around it. The ground is flat, with a river or canal in the front and a few tiny figures walking near the water. The lines are precise, and the whole scene looks like it’s etched or drawn carefully. The church’s design is very old-fashioned, with pointed arches and lots of small windows. The artist focused on the building’s height and the way light might hit its surfaces. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this drawing in person.
Frederick Landseer Maur Griggs was an English etcher, architectural draughtsman, illustrator, and early conservationist, associated with the late flowering of the Arts and Crafts movement in the Cotswolds, centred in Chipping Campden.
