Steeplegate, 16-18 High Street, Ely, Cambridgeshire
Drawn directly onto watercolour paper to form a birthday for a former colleague who has the same birthday as me. I used a sketch I did on site while doing fieldwork in Ely in April 2014.
Steeplegate, number 16 High Street, was built in the mid to late 16th century, forming an access from the town into the cathedral precinct after Dissolution of the monastery which served the cathedral. 18 High Street, to the left, was probably built at the same time but was heavily altered in the 18th century. Beneath them both is a 14th century, brick built, vaulted undercroft. We recorded this in October 2013.
