Sevenoaks

Anglican churches in England differ very much from their Catholic counterparts on the continent of Europe. Whereas Baroque Catholic churches are full of figures and paintings, Anglican churches are stark, no figures, no paintings, no reredos. In some churches calligraphy appears as decoration, sometimes on walls (like in Cerne Abbas) and sometimes framed as pictures (like in the Temple church in London or Chichester Cathedral). Sevenoaks parish church is one example of the latter. There are main prayers there hanged as pictures on walls. They are written in Antigua script, but some words in the beginning are written in a script the I call English Fraktur. They are initials similar to Ludwig Neudorfer style, but not quite the same.
