Item 153 - Letter from Dawson Turner

2 pp.

DT would like WW to spend some time with him during the summer: 'Whatever time it might suit you to come...I should be delighted to talk to you about ancient architecture, and to accompany you over Norwich Cathedral and Castle, unquestionably among the finest specimen of Norman buildings in existence'. DT has looked at WW's book with great pleasure ['Architectural Notes on German Churches']: 'You have studied the subject profoundly and gone into the causes of things, while I have neither had the time, nor the knowledge, nor perhaps the abilities to do more than examine the surface'.
