Weston Church, near Straford-on-Avon, England; a church known to Shakespeare

---

An English village church, with an unusually short tower. Probably the building shown here dates from the fourteenth and fifteenth cenuries; it was extensively restored in the 1890s, some fifty or more years after this engraving was published, and looks a little different today. This church was, it seems, known to Shakespeare. Here it is drawn with a funral in place; the weeping child in the foreground perhaps is now an orphan.
