More about this scene
The church of St Nicholas which dominates this view was redesigned in 1863 by Anthony Salvin. Not long after, the enthusiastic wood-carving cleric Canon Wilson adorned the interior with much of his own work. In the preceding century its vicar Dr John Brown, a friend of Dr Johnson, had seen his play 'Barbarossa' produced by David Garrick. Brown's views on education became famous but his death prevented him accepting the Empress Catherine's offer to sponsor a visit to Russia to explain them in greater detail.
