Dudeney Chapel in Ashford Forest. The Antiquities of England and Wales was the product of Alexander Hogg who was well known as a partwork publisher. Under the claimed authorship of Henry Boswell it was issued serially from c1787-9, and subsequently made available as a complete work. The format was typically 2 (though sometimes up to 6) prints to a page, with one or two accompanying pages of descriptive text on each pair of subjects. It also included the set of English county maps by Thomas Kitchin first used in the London Magazine from 1747-54. The origins of Dudeney Chapel are shrouded in mystery. The accompanying text to this print says the chapel is "in the Forest of Ashdown", but there is today no settlement by this name, and no known ruins that fit the bill. The Reverend Edward Turner, writing in 1857, offered two suggestions - that the Chapel might be confused with he Chapel of Maresfield (no longer extant), or that it might be explained by some recent old foundations discovered at Duddleswell. No modern conclusion seems to have been reached. The print, engraved by Sparrow, is supplied with the original, accompanying text.

The current Abbey was constructed in the 12th century, and mostly complete by 1180. Two major collapses in the 16th century - to the main tower and the west tower - caused great damage to other parts of the fabric, resulting in the shortening of the church. After the dissolution of the monasteries the surviving part became the parish church, and continues to fulfil that role today. This print, engraved by Peltro is supplied with the original, accompanying text. A slight crease.

This print was engraved by Sparrow - a couple of marginal spots.

St. Michael's or Vale Castle lies on a promontory to the north of the town and harbour of St. Sampson. The earliest parts of the castle date from the 15th century, though some early Iron Age earthworks have also been found on the site. The Castle was apparently abandoned to decay some time around 1680, but later restored in the 1780's when a new barracks block was built.

Magnus Barefoot, King of Mann is believed to have built the first castle in the 11th century, incorporating part of the monastery, notably the surviving round tower. Most of the other extant castle remains date from the early 14th century. Within the castle precinct are the ruins of the cathedral of St. German, built in stages between the 12th and 14th centuries, but later abandoned to decay from the 18th century.

In the early 14th century a new fortified house (named Tretower Court) was built by the family outside the castle precincts. This offered much more comfortable and modern accommodation, and over time the castle fell into misuse and decay. In 1540 the properties passed to the Vaughan family until they sold them in 1783, after which Tretower Court also declined. It was saved by Government intervention in the 20th century, and is today maintained and opened to the the public by the Wesh Heritage Agency CADW.

It saw action in the 11th and 12th century wars between the English and Welsh, being destroyed by the Welsh in 1215, before being rebuilt by William Marshall, Earl of Pembroke. It was further extended with new building in the 14th century, but was badly damaged in the civil war, and then fell into decay. The building of a prison in the precincts from 1789 resulted in further demolition of the remains. The prison was replaced by a new County Hall in 1938.

The current cathedral dates from around 1107 when it was founded by Urban, the first Norman Bishop, although not completed until 1290. Storm damage and time did great damage to the fabric. The south-west tower collapsed in 1722 and in 1734 work began on a plan to construct a new cathedral within the structure of the partially ruined old one. This scheme was never completed, however, and in the 19th century, money was found to restore the old cathedral to its current glory. This print, engraved by Thornton, is supplied with the original, accompanying text.

The new build suffered various problems - the tower collapsed in 1220, there was earthquake damage in 1247/8, much of the monastic buildings were demolished with the dissolution of the moanasteries, and further vandalism was done in the civil war.
