A collection of glass lantern slides documenting medieval stonework and ecclesiastical architecture across various English counties, notably Kent, Dorset, and Yorkshire. The slides feature monochromatic photographic transparencies mounted between glass plates with paper binding tapes. Each slide is identified by handwritten ink labels on paper margins, detailing specific architectural elements such as “Double Piscina,” “Sedilia,” “Alms Box,” “Poppy Head,” “Tympanum,” and “Carved Panel.” Visible locations transcribed from the labels include Shoreham, Orpington, Sandwich, Lyminge, Northbourne, Minster, Stone, Eltham Palace, Darenth, Barfreston, Rochester, Ludlow, Worcester, Hexham, Rievaulx, St Albans, Salisbury, Wareham, Christchurch, and Bolton Abbey. One slide is inscribed with the date 1908. Several slides bear numerical identifiers including 272, 273, 275, and 277, alongside circular white paper orientation marks. The collection is housed in a black leatherette-covered wooden? storage box fitted with a brass-effect metal swinging handle.
