Joseph Michael Gandy This spired structure adorned with gothic pinnacles and niches is reminiscent of the "Eleanor Crosses," twelve monuments that Edward I erected to mark the spot where his wife, Queen Eleanor's, body rested each night on its way to burial in 1290.

Joseph Michael Gandy (British, London 1771–1843 London). 1797 (?). Pen and ink, brush and wash, over grap
